I dont see it as You guys do. To me if I reserved a King but my profile shows 2 doubles , then Im SOL. If when I make a res only Kings are available then Im SOL.

However I reserved 2 Doubles and they only have a King when I check-in and wont have any Doubles , then I must get Paid.

Otherwise, all I need to do is find a hotel that is out of a certain type of bed for that night and switch my profile to reflect that type and book what is available and then ask for my $100 as they wont have what my profile says.

If in fact MR will pay off depending on what ones profile says rather then what is available and booked, MR is STUPID

I do agree with if the Hotel doesnt come thru with other Plat benefits and didnt know the person was aPlat cause they became Plat after they made their res, then as long as its not with a day or 2 of becoming a Plat, I see that it wont be a concern of the person but let the hotel look to MR for reimbursement. Now if I had say my 75th night last night and my acct isnt updated when I login even if its 2 weeks since that 75th night then, Im not a Plat even thou Ive stayed the correct amount of nights, until I get the Card or my acct says so.

so playing the game has its Ups & Downs, so one can come out of it either way.
