For Paid Stays it is:
Superior -> Club Level + Access
or
Superior -> Executive without Access.

IC Shanghai Pudong
I stayed there for two nights from 7th of September and was asked whether I would choose the club benefit or the suite room without the club benefit as usual as before at the check-in as RA benefit, and off course I chose the club benefit. I enjoyed the great club lounge and was told that I might have breakfast at the restaurant on the 1st floor.

IC Yokohama
IC Yokohama is also no longer offering the club lounge access. If we hope it, we have to pay 2.500yen per person. But much more reasonable than ANA Tokyo and the Strings.

) for all three nights. So not only giving club access, but also upgrade applying to free night as well. ^ Now of course I've read the hotel isn't to the same standard as the ANA or Strings, but I'll put my money where my benefits are.

Reward Night Treatment of RA's
To mnredfox
Any chance of adding a fourth table on PAGE #1 after the first 3 tabulations, to show which IC's give some or all (and none) of the RA benefits on reward night stays & reward nights following on from paid nights.
While we all know these days, the T+C's says no entitlement, It seems half our IC's do go the extra mile for RA's on reward nights still?

Agree. I was there last November and they wouldn't budge on Club access unless I paid about E50 a night. Only upgrade on a BOGO deluxe room was to an Exec room. (Did get a very useful cotton wine carrier bag as the local gift.)
