As such, I won't get any upgrades, but are there any other benefits I can get?

For instance, if I select points, will I get the increased number of points, and I can get the internet access fee waived?

Years ago when I went from Gold to Platinum, the property refused to acknowledge Platinum status because the points were not yet posted and therefore I was "Gold in the system." So YMMV.
