I have heard getting upgraded to the club level at the Renaissance is next to impossible even for Diamonds.
Re: Schenzen, I always laugh at how overpriced Hong Kong is compared to that city especially when you compare the high end hotels that go for $300-500 a night in HK. Just over the border they are usually $150 for the same brand!
