Might sound like a dramatic move, but has anyone got any experience to share about making a 'demand' for a room upgrade from either HI or CP ( not ICs ). This is as an IHG Platinum Rewards Member ...
For eg. You've made your booking online, and you turn up at say 3pm. Your ask about an upgrade, and get told 'sorry' ... no upgrade available ( for whatever reason ).
I take it, one is able to say in response ... 'well, I'd like to put my check-in on hold. I'm just going to call my other hotel chain, and ask what their availability for an upgrade is ...' ( or something like that )
Would that work ?
Is it somehow, 'shooting yourself in the foot' ?
