Haven't been following this thread lately, but am now testing out my Diamond benefits. Has been hilarious watching the desk agent ask with a straight face (and I paraphrase), "Would you like points worth about $3, a free drink worth about $8, or breakfast for two people which at $27/person is worth $216 over your 4 night stay?"
Seems like it would be less awkward for the desk agents if they just made the benefit free breakfast w/o the choice.
