And on the suite issue, I've only seen one person say that upgrades are better on the SPG side but I understand your perspective.
Rare where I don't get the bed type I booked...happened recently at two different crappy Sheratons actually and each time my Ambassador credited me 5K points. That vs. cash would be a toss-up for me.
