Lately , I get welcome emails offering me room upgrades for a price but there are never any rooms available for complimentary upgrades . Of course I always check online when pulling into hotels and despite inventory for upgraded rooms for the length of my stay , I am always told no upgrades available . I have no problems getting my drink tickets . Platinum amenity is hit or miss . But upgrades are zero . Am I missing something?
It would help if you tell us which brand, which country you are staying the most.
When (paid) room upgrades are proposed by email before the stay, I always ignore them. They should upgrade you an anyway.
OLCI : it has created problems in the past with some promo points. I never do it and it brings nothing in practice.
