I am now GOLD status instead of silver. Because I booked through Costco, does this mean I will not get breakfast vouchers or possibility of a room upgrade? I know I will not get points....

Just one more question, lol. For having been a HH member since 2002, I am pretty clueless on the program.

Thanks Edgewood, I will ask at check in. I called HH and tried to add my number, but they would not. Maybe they will when I check in.
The Costco price was about $700 lower than booking direct when I add in the resort fee included, so no matter what, I will not complain. That was using my HH discount. Costco also threw in cheap (shuttle) transportation both directions, that I may or may not use, just depending on how tired I am, and how fast I want to get there.

(Not defending them). I would rather they removed the stupid resort fee for Diamond/Gold members.It has always been $10 per person. A credit of $20 is given when 2 people are registered in the room.

I suspect the percentage of elites staying here is much lower than at big city business properties.

Booked for a two night stay August 27-29 for just a standard resort view king. Just did a nor1 upgrade request to ali'i (I shouldve booked before ali'i directly, but too late now as rate is much higher).
Anyone have any reports on successful nor1's ? I guess I would check night before/day of to see if nor1 was accepted and head to ali'i for check in rather than lineup at the regular desk?
I'm also guessing its still high season as labour day is so far back this year. *sigh*

Got a great upgrade today as a gold member to Tapa junior suite on 17th floor, end unit, ocean view. Yesterday when I checked the app and website for room possibilities, several resort view rooms in Tapa and Kalia were listed. (My track record with digital check-in has always been a room that's the opposite of what's in my profile, so I haven't bothered with it.) Then last night I saw this upgrade and took it. Too bad it's only for one night, but I've been here for a week in Lagoon Tower on club points.

The poster said he had been in the Lagoon Tower for a week, what would be the reason to move for just one night to a jr. suite, to me that would not be worth the hassle (the Presidential Suite would be a home run, a jr suite "nice" but hardly worth a move). I was wondering if the poster was adding a night and there was no availability where he was, etc.
