On a long stay at Landmark Bangkok, booked as a series of back-to-back shorter stays. I‘ve been paying the bill for each of the substays as I go, and so stays have been duly posting with I Prefer while I’m still at the hotel. Thus I quickly moved up in status — twice — mid-stay. I’m now an Elite member. Hooray!

I asked at the club floor about an upgrade and they gave me a great one, to an 87 m.sq. suite (I had booked and was staying in a smaller suite).

This program seems more laid back than others I’ve been familiar with. Despite having I Prefer desk ornaments at the front desk and club floor, there’s not a lot of branding associated with it and the people at the hotel aren’t all that forward about it, almost like it’s an afterthought. But my sample size is exactly one hotel, so I’m open to being mistaken. Regardless, my experience at this one hotel has been quite generous.

Im going to try to use a voucher or whatever it is I’ve accrued, soon.
