I'll be checking into the Radisson in Glasgow on Friday and I was promoted to Gold late last week.
Will my change of status automatically update on my hotel records just as it has online? And also, does anyone know if it will make the slightest bit of difference to my stay (other than a few extra points when I check out)?
I'll be making use of the 2-4-1 bookings in a month or two (once I figure out how it works) but just wondered if it makes a difference in the meantime?
Ta, Jon

The Glasgow Radisson is really nice.....enjoy yourself even without an upgrade. ^

I'm just hoping they'll let me check in early more than anything...don't want to be walking the mean streets of Glasgow for too long
Cheers for coming back so quickly.

Checked in and nothing out of the ordinary. Hotel is impressive though and the room beats the HI I was in last night. Well worth the Ł87 I paid.
Two thumbs up from me.

To be fair any place can be a little eye opening at closing time when people have had all day to drink.
Hotel was in a good location and perfectly placed to leg it out the next morning to Loch Ness.
The HIX in Strathclyde the next night wasn't quite as plush

New silver benefit - cup of tea for two without the stay
Just got an email for Silver Elites:

You're always very welcome at our hotels.
That's why, wherever you are, you can now drop into any of the 220 participating Radisson Blu, Radisson Edwardian and Park Plaza Hotels & Resorts in Europe, the Middle East and Africa and enjoy a free coffee, tea or hot chocolate for two, plus free Wi-Fi internet access.
You don't need to book a room. All you have to do is let our front-desk team know when you arrive and then sit back, relax, sip your coffee and perhaps do a little work, or maybe meet a friend...
This is a new, exclusive benefit for Silver Elite card holders. To make sure you enjoy all your Elite benefits remember to visit goldpointsplus.com
Now, would you like one sugar or two?

Got the same email. I think I'll make use of this at some point.
I wonder if Gold members get the same benefit?
Edit: I see it's yes.

I like this as there´s one hotel very near me and I walk past it like twice a week when taking baby HelsinkiFlyer out for a walk. Now I might start going in for free coffee and checking FlyerTalk as well. The hotel guests will love it, when baby HF is running around the used to be so quiet lobby.
This really is an generous offer. I like it. Many times when travelling around I go past a Radisson hotel and now I always get a free cup of coffee.
