Agreed. Plat for life here (from stays vs CC) and it's good for breakfasts everywhere but seldom upgrades. Don't discount the value of a free breakfast though. If you have upgrade certifs that now accept them at the STR but they only start looking 3 days out, so your chances are diminished during busy season.
