How does EVT treat you as an elite?

Might be speaking into a void here- but figure we could see how other EVT elites are treated per other chains/groups.

To kick things off- 2 recent stays

Property: QT Gold Coast
Status: Gold
Room booked: King Oven View
Room upgraded/type: King Ocean View deluxe
Room Rate: $290 a night.
Early check in/late out: early check in at 11am- no late check out needed
Welcome drink: wasn’t offered despite benefit

Great staff, nice renovations and great views while the air show was on. Gold dining benefits offered, although strictly adhered to needing to be dining per T&C’s - other hotels also given to me with just drinks.

Property: The Oval Hotel (Adelaide)
Status: Gold
Room booked: Parkland King
Room upgraded/type: Parkland King
Room Rate: one night- $320.
Early check in/late out: neither necessary
Welcome drink: Sparkling, red or white. Sparkling was tolerable.

Liked the restaurant, obviously the atmosphere being inside the stadium is great. Nice hotel, good staff, great location being a bit out of the city.

An EVT Black, I get mixed recognition.
Always get 50% off dining at participating properties. At Kennigo BNE I've had check in as early as 9ish to being asked to pay ($30?). Recently at Kennigo the latest check out I could get was noon, only to get a call to my room at 11 reminding me that it's check out time . Overall I'm happy with how I get looked after.

Would be interested in your broader experience as black, QT hotels are my favourite, but I don’t dedicate a large percentage of my hotel spend to EVT due to the pretty lazy status recognition.
