Nothing stopping any hotel from seeing which Ambassador guests are coming in over the next 7 day period, rolling, and pre-assigning upgrades. No need to blame SNAs.
I get SPG had fewer properties.
And there have been a couple of people talking about the "list" you reference on FT. But when I've asked about it at SPG properties, they werent familiar with it. So I think it may have been something in the past.
But you're right about the looking ahead, although I don't book too many hotels seven days ahead.
