So there may be some way for properties to tell in advance if a particular branded card is on the reservation. However, I have no idea whether the CC made any difference in upgrade success at those properties.
Are you talking about the $100 property credit perk for the RC card and Bonvoy Brilliant at Ritz and STR properties? If so, that credit is attached to the room rate. If not, I'm curious to hear more about the folio credit.
