That’s how it works. I suppose hotels can preassign based on how many rolling stays you’ve had in the last 12 months. Or based on stays in the last year. Or based on number of stays at that specific hotel.

But reality is hotel just want a quick and easy way to get this done.
That would perhaps explain/justify the GoH booking getting an upgrade, but not the brand new member without any status, I think?
