Also, I wonder if they will do regular promotions for extra D$ like Marriott, Hilton and IHG?
From what I heard, they certainly will provide bonus D$ based on your etile status. But I am not sure with what percentage.

Historically for 80%+ of my stay, I am granted with late check-out at 3pm as Platinum and 5-6pm as Black. But early check-in is quite subject to availability. So I agree that this benefit is valuable.
