Thanks all for taking your time here listening to my moans, and it seems like I set my expectations way to high in regards to Bonvoy tiers.
When we, more or less, only stayed with Accor A few years back, reaching gold (or plat) more or less guaranteed a room upgrade every single time...
On the transfers in BKK, we have always used what the hotels offered (usually as part of a deal) and it’s always been top notch with very little effort involved. So Sofitel had the best one so far.
So, thanks again and for opening my eyes. Will burn the points we have accrued and not be hotel loyalty slaves any more :-)
