I need to ask what did you really expect? As a Plat I have done several AY flights in Y and J, both s/h and l/h, and I've got recognition of any kind only on couple of those. Occassionally it's been a newspaper handed out and not so often some extra words from the purser or FA. As a Gold I got newspaper maybe twice and got to say life isn't much different as a Plat so far.
Still to experience this new "drink benefit", so far the only experience was getting nothing apart of blueberry juice on my OUL flights I had a week ago.
