Experiences vary. I’ve had three amazing stays at this hotel. Amazing upgrades each time. But my status said I should get it. Then I got more upgrades each time on top of those.

I’m lifetime plat e Marriott and have never had what I would consider an upgrade while plat. A different view or two bottles of water isn’t an upgrade.

So again experiences vary. I believe they vary more broadly and frequently now that the Marriottization has begun. My guess is you got #bonvoyed.
