Last year I visited 30 or so InterContinental's (somewhere between 70 to 80 nights) and received an executive room once (if I can recall correct) which was at Mark Hopkins. All others were suite upgrades.
Maybe they offer better upgrades for RA's that have actually earned the status than those that have been referred which makes sense.
