I personally think that if I was Titanium my upgrades would not be nearly as good and I get thousands $$ of value out of Amb status from that alone. Unfortunately I cannot prove it. But I am quite sure there are large number of hotels (admittedly, most likely not all of them) who prioritize Ambassadors for room upgrades, regardless how small or how generous those upgrades are.
I also think the situation will get even better starting in 2020 with a reduced number of Ambassador guests.
I agree. I am seeing more and more positive reports from Ambassador members and am finding that hotels are going out of the way to recognize Ambassador status.
And initiatives like this one below show me that Marriott is making an effort to acknowledge Ambassador Elites.
