I agree with R&R. I was Gold for years and have been Plat last 2. Big difference in FS, JW's and Ren.! In large CY, (as in NYC) I have also noticed it - regular CY's, SH's, etc not so much - but I still notice a difference in room conditions, locations, etc - and there have been times I have been upgraded to a suite. If you are already the highest level elsewhere, - seems like it would be worth your while
