I'm trying to maximize spend on another card at the moment and just curious how this works since I don't see any verbiage that directly says you must pay for the room on the card to get the benefit.....
You have to call in order to apply the club upgrade. As far as I know it cannot be added later (that is without changing the reservation to whatever price is current at the time you want to add it), but I never tried it.
The rules says that you have to pay with the Ritz card - how much enforcement there is around it, I don't know.
