Best play I've ever had success worth is being super nice on chat a day before check-in. A week might be tough given the number of consecutive days.

Use suite nights and then try the Message the Property feature to send a message that you are celebrating x,y,z and would love to surprise with an upgraded room.

See if they appear to have a lot of availability of suites. Be very nice a day or two before check in. Consider using suite night awards.

I’m a new associate to a T&E group, partner goes away on vacation and leaves me with a 706 to review and sign. The family is very wealthy. Decedent married for 60 years.

So I looked up the decedent’s home - it’s a joint asset. Partner was “surprised”, and still insists “no other assets”. I found file references to art and antiques.

I'm signed up for Aeroplan.
