Will they let us "pay the difference" with points if we want a higher level hotel? The problem with the 40,000 point limit is nice hotels in major cities like NYC and SF are more than that.
Yes, Platinum status is still there.
And No, to the upgrades. That's kinda the deal with the devalued "Free Night" just like other hotel chains, keeping the free night at the lower tier hotels.
