I am a recent Gold and have a question for more experienced travelers re Gold/Platinum Upgrade. I apologize in advance if this was covered in another post. HHonors' terms and conditions for both the Gold and Platinum provide the following benefit:

"Upgrade to Executive Floor (if available), OR Executive Floor Lounge access (if the hotel has a Lounge), OR complimentary continental breakfast for the member and one guest each day of the stay. If the rate already includes breakfast, a special food and beverage amenity will be presented."

This language seems to suggest that a guest would get either a room upgrade or free breakfast but not both. However, almost all of the posts by the good folks here seem to suggest that getting complimentary breakfast is a given and that sometimes, a guest could get both.

Has anyone here been forced to choose or denied a free breakfast based upon the hotel providing an upgrade?
