Hello my fellow "Glob-Lite" - Apparently, as you've by now seen, the answer is no. I think a fair question, and just a question after all, if they're willing to bump you up the standard room ladder why not the premium one if you book in that grade... alas. Ignore the haters. I too am a glob-lite soon and while I can understand why they are pissed, usually I am the one screwed by end of year changes or updates so you just have to let them be them and mad... its a fair anger. Finally I (and you) get to be on the positive side of the changes. But their anger is misdirected. Alas

I still owe a few my reply on a recent similar post where I was accused of being greedy and entitled when I was merely asking, but wanted to wait til the waters had cooled, first.
