Oh, Cigarman, you're going to hate me...
I've been a Priority Club member a bit more than a year, when I had one stay in DC (all my favorite hotels were FULL). Early this summer, I stayed at a Holiday Inn in Maine on a Holideals rate (less than $50, as I recall). When I checked in, the desk clerk upgraded me to a suite, and she said it was because of my membership. I wasn't going to argue, but it sure seemed odd to me. It made me think better of the chain, too, since it's usually among my last choices.
Please don't yell at me.
