That suite upgrade percentage might vary on location, property, etc. but I'm curious as I've heard a lot of (legacy invite only) Plat Premiers complaining it gave no benefit at all.
Said poster and I have had many a back and forth on this, and (again no offense) he seems to be an outlier with a better UG percentage w/MR than SPG. Whereas I've seen many more posters IMO, long-time MR folks, who are amazed at the amount of suite upgrades they have gotten w/SPG in a very short time-frame.
