No upgrades and no points on money spent for room. My experience is that it is even on incidentals you need to fax in the receipts and you'll receive points for incidentals only. Depending on your spg status....the lack of upgrades might be an issue for you. Most report in general having good luck as plats getting upgrades when booking conventially through the spg web sit...full rate. As gold however upgrades were few and far between for me even when booking through spg.com .... very not worth the price difference between paying the going rate and doing priceline...imho.
