Getting pissy with FDAs over how one is entitled to a suite due to the (in their mind arbitrary) terms of status is supremely unproductive and DEFINITELY leads to comments being made on their profile.
Speaking from long-time experience in the hospitality industry (including working the FD and in management, not to mention reading probably tens of thousands of guest profiles), FD agents typically don't have the time, energy, or motivation to care much about being badgered for suites much less notating profiles about it. A particularly vindictive GM might but also more likely to ignore than anything else.

Well no, quoted poster was responding specifically to a claim that booking via Hyatt gets no benefits at SLH.
