There’s potentially lots of value to having hotel elite status. However, there’s no denying that elite ranks have swelled quite a bit over the years, especially with some programs making it easy to earn top tier status with a credit card.
The way I view it, hotel elite status is still valuable for the guaranteed benefits, like complimentary breakfast, executive lounge access, late check-out, etc. However, I try to manage my expectations when it comes to complimentary upgrades, given the amount of competition for those.
Along those lines, I’d like to talk about a trend we’re increasingly seeing at some hotels, as I’m curious whether people view this as a positive or negative…
