I have an Amex Platinum which apparently gets me Jade level membership, but aside from late checkout I'm not really seeing any advantages there as I was planning on booking a "club" room anyway.

Any suggestions?
Not really an answer to your question, but just wanted to say I loved the Hotel Jen in Beijing and highly recommend staying there. Great modern property that treated me well even without status, gorgeous rooms of a decent size, amazing views, and perfect location. Hip area, too.
