Yes, and according the the T&Cs William has posted even you may not be entitled to Plat benefits. Companies have the ability to negotiate just about anything they want when booking rooms. If the elimination of status benefits lowers their room rate, they may go for it. Also, Master billed rooms preempt credit for the stay. Although you may get credit for incidentals billed to the room that you pay for at check out. I've been to many such conferences where no credit is due, but if a repeat customer to the property, I might at least get a room upgrade and lounge access. But that was the pre-merger day, not sure what I would expect these days.
