I think your priorities are a bit skewed by reading FT
You got promoted so no need to antagonize your boss even if you feel he acts silly.
BTW bragging about hotel/airline status in front of less travelled coworkers (and especially supervisors) doesn't help one's career. Just enjoy your perks quietly on your own or later with your family/friends.
