1. This year I get free suite upgrades (no TSU required) about 85% of the time. Many many gorgeous rooms. For short business stays this might not matter, but I'm 80% leisure and love it.
Wow, that is a great suite upgrade rate! I am far, far below that, at around 2 out of 25 stays this year, and they were both the suite-lite Large King at Andaz Tokyo. Feel disappointed, though I was already disappointed before I read yours. Maybe it's the type of properties I'm staying at, or maybe they've pegged me at a lower-level Globalist. I travel for leisure too (well, more like working holiday) and would love to have close to an 85% upgrade rate. Keep enjoying it!
