the reason i asked which hotel is when i would book a standard room at hrh, 6 times i have been upgraded to pool view.
3 of those visits were at blue card status.
first 2 visits were for 2 nights, last of those 3 visits were for a 6 night stay.
you can't move up to gold until after the trip/stay is over.
depending on the date the op goes and the hotel, possibly a chance of upgrade if it is in low season don't you think?
i know i wouldn't bank on it but there could be an outside chance.
