How do You First room upgrades work?

[jillybgood]

I should be eligible for a free room upgrade on my next stay.

So if I book a standard room if a water view is available we would get that correct?

If I book water view would we be upgraded to club if it is availble? I suspect not but thought I'd ask anyway.

Anyone have any insight, experience with this?

Upgrades to club are not included in any upgrades. You can only be upgraded to the next level of regular room. So standard to water view.

No.

Upgrades don't include upgrades to club or suites with Blue level.

If you are gold level you will be upgraded to a suite from a standard room if it is available at time of check-in for an extra $50. If you are platinum level you will be upgraded to a suite if it is available at time of reservation with no extra cost.

There are no upgrades to club level no matter what level you are at.

If you book club level, there are no upgrades no matter what level you are at.

From the website:

All upgrades are applicable to certain room and suite types only and subject to availability. Blue members receive a room upgrade, if available, upon arrival. Gold members receive an upgrade to a premium room, if available, guaranteed at time of reservation. Gold members can also enjoy a suite upgrade for only $50 per night, if available upon arrival. Platinum members receive a premium upgrade, if available, guaranteed at time of reservation. Platinum members receive a suite upgrade, if available at time of reservation, at no additional cost.

if this is your 3rd stay, you are eligible for a free upgrade at check in if there are rooms available.

from the website: One of the most inclusive hotel reward programs in the industry, YouFirst Rewards allows guests to begin receiving rewards after just one stay,such as free internet, late checkout, guaranteed rooms and upgrades for guests after only 2 annual stays.

all up to availability...

book a standard and get a water view.
just like you said.

that is the only upgrade for blue level.

platinum level has a different set up.
gold, also.


i do the room upgrade for each visit in advance.
that is allowed for platinum YF.

We are Blue.

Booked 2queen standard view. Checking in a few hours ago she stated that, then said we are blue so we would get an upgrade, and would we like a patio. Yes, and we got a deluxe room with a villa (? the small pool, not the big one) pool view, free Internet and access to the fitness room. Nice!

It was very easy.

it is a lot easier to get those type of upgrades when it is low season and when the hotel is not at a high occupancy level.

congrats bumbel bee!

Sigh. I knew it.

Thanks for the info!
