While not a result of status, the only RC I would stay at is Tokyo where they let me use points to upgrade to the club level. My other visits to RC (all conus) were ok but nothing special. These days, the only way I'd consider RC is if the rates are within Per Diem or I can stay on (reasonable) points.
