Unfortunately the T&C's contain this rather unfriendly rule:
" If an Elite Member believes that compensation is due with respect to any aspect of the Elite Benefits Guarantee, he/she must request payment of the compensation while still a guest at the Participating Property, prior to checking out. "

So basically if a property is shafting you, YOU have to persuade them to stop shafting you, BUT ALSO to give you lots of money on top. You almost couldn't design a system more hostile to consumers.
