Marriott 🐠, are my chances of an upgrade higher if I check in 2 days early from the app or at the hotel? I’m Platinum and I would get to the hotel in the evening, fwiw

In my experience the best way to get an upgrade is to use the chat feature in the app the morning you check-in. Simply ask them if there are any upgrades available. You can always fib and tell them that it's a special moment.

Yup this is what I always do. Well the chat part. It always reduces the anxiety of having to ask right when you get in.

I also always offer to check in at a later time if that opens up more room availability to get an upgrade.

Is this using suite nights?

No just trying to maximise my chances of a free upgrade
