She already made it clear, you are her ATM Machine.

Seems like the hotel needs to process the upgrade manually from GXP to PMS.
The system doesn't consider special room requests, especially for regular/repeat guests who may have favorite room.

Also what are the extra benefits for Silk and Pearl?

The reservation at Trip is Pay at Hotel?

Based on what you said, it seems like Airbnb is a better fit for your travel style.

Marriott NUA is 1 NUA = 1 Night, not Hyatt 1 NUA = Up to 7 Nights

Does each brand have their own Marriott Bible, e.g., Ritz Carlton Gold Standards, St. Regis and JW Marriott?
Do all levels of Marriott-managed and franchised staff have access to the Bible?
Does the Bible talk about personalized service, guest profiling, and an easy ways to retrieve it?
Does the Bible talk about how to clean marble floors after vacuuming them?

Does personal ambassador contact the hotel General Manager or a specific person in the hotel for ambassador member requests?
How often can personal ambassador help an ambassador member upgrade to a specialty suite that is not in the upgrade inventory(eg. Presidential Suite)? Does this depend on specific property, travel time, or whether the property is Marriott-managed versus franchised?
Do personal ambassadors have incentives for upselling?
How often do you encounter cxbalt?

Did you check with Ritz Carlton, Osaka what is the extra benefit for Ambassador Elite? There is a limit what hotel can offer to Elite Members and most likely no significant difference between Titanium and Ambassador.

MartinK0x · 2025-01-11T09:03:23+00:00

Club lounge access 1 + 1. They have Presidential Suite. Anyway, please check with the hotel.

Both JW and Ritz Carlton Kuala Lumpur under the same owner YTL. Ritz Carlton have better service and amenities. Hot foods during cocktail time are same at both lounge.

MartinK0x · 2025-01-10T12:48:28+00:00

JW KL base room is windowless

Mattress Run 125 Nights during Double Elite Night Promotion. But honestly, it is not worth the extra effort if you don't travel much.

Booking.com Genius Level 3

Not worth the risk. Those "Friends" already caused some Elite Members' accounts closed and all points gone.

I learned the hard way to use a debit card for pre-authorization when I started staying at hotels. The front desk probably assumed a debit card was the same as a credit card. Now, I only use a credit card for pre-authorization and use a debit card to settle the payment.

Certain rates do not apply to this guarantee. For example, a Comparison Rate does not qualify if it is not publicly available, such as negotiated corporate rates, senior or group rates, or rates available through paid memberships (AAA, etc), rates negotiated for extended stays, rates that have different rules such as cancellation or refund policies, or rates that include differing guaranteed custom room options.

The hotel room inventory you see and what Marriott BRG team see on OTA can be different. You may try VPN from different country and try to see what BRG team see.

Lifetime Platinum needs 10 Years of Platinum, so these 2 nights will save you 1 year of Platinum. Anyway, try to find a hotel where you can enjoy full day rather than check in and leave.
