Hi,

Myself and wife are in NYC for 4 nights in mid June. I currently have 180,000 points and I would be looking to use these to pay for the rooms. I appreciate that the Crowne Plaza is 45k per night and that the INtercontinental is 50k. I am also a Platinum member. Apart from breakfast, we will not be planning on eating in the hotel nor will be looking to use any fitness suites. So for us it all about location and any additional useful benefits.

I would really like some advise on where the best chance of an upgrade might be, free breakfast, club rooms, late check outs and generally what might be seen as the best option.

All help and useful comments appreciated.
