But overall not any type of special treatment. I am sure Chase doesn’t care as it’s all about the benjamins. Not that Amex THC or FHR treatment is any better but they do have more properties.

as for upgrades in general, I realize, whether for these kinds of programs or just for hotel status in general, it’s a bit of a gimmick. They aren’t guaranteed in most cases, so even when O book with FHR/edit, I’m not expecting anything different than I booked. I see it as a way to get a nicer hotel at a relatively affordable rate. The credit/breakfast always help, for sure. But upgrades don’t really phase me.
I think the brand makes a difference. Is this a hotel brand that has a big elite pool that expects upgrades to the best available room? Or is it a chain that consistently strives to make every stay good, even if you don't get outsized upgrade.

My Edit stays at the FS have all been almost perfect, while those at chains that offer upgrade to elites have fallen short of my expectations.
