But a lot of things go into play - length of stay, occupancy rate, how many other elites also checking in & requesting a suite upgrade before another elite, etc, etc.

Yes Sharon, I do. FWIW, for 2013, two hotel stays so far, two suite requests, two suite stays, including my present five day stay, through 2/25/2013, and my last stay from 2/8-2/11/2013.
