My question is this -- if you are Globalist, and specifically entitled to a suite upgrade if one is available at check-in, does that change the answer at all? All else being equal, doesn't it behoove you to physically arrive as early as possible? Or do people still think your chances are maximized if you show up as late as possible and the hotel is no longer worried about renting the room?
