Forgive the technical ignorance....
If you have been issued a mobile key, then have you effectively taken occupancy of your room? Presumably the mobile key wouldn't be effective until the previous occupant has left, but in the case of a suite it could very well have been vacant the night before. Can the FD clerk tell when you've used the mobile key for the first time? It's been said several times in this thread that you aren't really upgraded until you have your key in hand. This could be the electronic equivalent of the hotel clerk heading you off on the way to your suite after checking in, taking your physical key from you, and handing you a key to a regular room. Or, stated differently (not to get pedantic), when is the property's last chance to downgrade you?
