As a Gold I got a suite upgrade for 7 nights at Courtyard Seoul Times Square on mixed award/cash booking.
But I did have to email ahead.

Strategy for upgrade on four night award

I'm staying four nights at the CY Taipei. I'm intending to book two separate back-to-back awards for two nights each to increase my chances of being upgraded. Whenever I have back-to-back reservations the check-in clerk never bothers to notice the second one until I mention it to them. In this case, I wouldn't mention it until after already having been assigned the first room.

Can't find anything in the plat t/c about 3 night suite upgrades?
Thought it's subject to availability

I got suite upgrades this week at the Renaissance Hong Kong (studio suite) and the Marriott Guangzhou Tianhe (1 bedroom). I have frequently gotten upgrades at the Ren, not so often at the GZ property.

I was upgraded to a suite at the JW Singapore 2 weeks back, with a super early 8am check-in. Staff and service was incredible there.

Upgraded to suite every single time so far (~7 stays if memory serves) at Marquis in Bangkok, stays ranging from 2 to 11 nights.
The hotel is massive and I think they have a healthy complement of suites, which probably helps.

In the Manila Marriott I got upgrades 3/7. In the Suhkumvit Marriott in Bangkok, we got an upgrade 3 days into our 9 day stay. In Beijing, I received a suite at the Renaissance for 5 days in 2012, but not at the JW last july for 5 days.
