Platinum Recognition (from Priority Club Experience Thread)
As a general remark, I can see very little hotels which give a good Platinum recognizion. What is actually the reason to be a Plat if there is no real benefit behind? What is the idea of being a Plat? Shouldn't we get the "best available room"? I cannot find usefull information on the IHG websites but I find it almost always not worth to stay in a IHG hotel due to the very bad value. SPG Plat or HHonors Dia give much better value for money. So, why bother with Priority Club?

I am just about 100% around 300/300 on upgrades at HI, CP (and HIX with multiple room types) in Europe, mainly UK (many cities), and Europe (England, Scotland, Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France, Czech Republic, Romania ) which includes Awards stays, non-qual rate (eg PrePaid-A 35% off rates), reduced rates eg 241, december2012/jan2013 uk 20.12gbp rate offer (symbolic rate for UK Olympics)
Only 1 paid stay at full up UK HI had no upgrade, and i had apology and free breakfast offer instead which was quite an acceptable alternative.
