Of course! 
We got upgraded to a Premier King Suite as well. I'll try and do a formal write-up shortly.

Someone started a new thread for this, but new secret word is "Summer of Karma". Guess they should rename it secret phrase!

Currently at 70 Park Ave Hotel in NY. We used the secret word and, already being Inner Circle at Kimpton (and therefore already receiving $30 raid the mini bar coupons and complimentary breakfast coupons), we were given 5 free drink coupons to use at the bar, additional raid the mini-bar credit, and free in-room movie and popcorn (freshly popped and delivered elegantly to the room). (If we had had a car, we could have had free parking.) This hotel does not have a full restaurant so they have fewer amenities to offer, but what they lack in facilities, they make up with wonderful service.

Used the secret phrase during a one-night stay at the Monaco in Portland. Was going to be offered free overnight valet parking ($38 value), but I had booked a rate that included parking, so that was a no-go. Then we got offered dinner at the restaurant, but we already had dinner reservations elsewhere. Ending up getting a couple free drinks at the restaurant bar though. Great experience!

Bottle of Pinot Grigio. Very happy with that. Not many other potential options, as there is no F&B outlet, and I didn't park a car.

Yea - Summer of Karma. Boo - Summer of Karma = 1 drink at the bar. [seemed to be limited hours which I wasn't at the hotel for so I stuck my drink coupon in the stack of newspapers on the way out - my way of leaving some karma]

had a little grab-bag for the secret word. just a plastic bag with little paper slips with prizes/amenities on them. I thought it was a great concept, but unfortunately, none of the ones I picked benefited me.
free parking - didn't drive in
free breakfast - had a 5:45 flight in the AM
free upgrade - already in the highest room
free cocktail & free bottle of wine - don't drink - "no alcohol" listed in my profile
$20 off room rate - just took it b/c of the awkwardness, but my employer was paying for my room
regardless, I was impressed by the effort and intention. Thank you!

They have a sand pail full of coupons at the Palomar in Philadelphia. My wife pulled out coupons for 1pm late checkout (we already had 2pm as Inner Circle), free valet parking (we didn't drive), and two free juices from Square 1682, which we accepted and used.

Hotel George- was told that they weren't sure what I'd want since I'm inner circle and already get an amenity. Really?? He said that he would give me an "extra" bottle of wine. Btw, amenity was never delivered.
