I'm confused by the no published benefits bit.
This FRHI guide
http://www.frhi.com/Userfiles/FRHI%20Tri-brand.PDF states there were a set of defined benefits and some kind of defined membership qualification criteria. The Raffles benefits appearing inferior to those offered by Fairmont (upgrades subject to availability rather than guaranteed).
The small membership group therefore more personalised I can understand although to what extent it applied is difficult to measure.
