If that doesn’t work try one of the following with your ambassador and/or hotel staff (1) It’s my anniversary (2) it’s my friend’s bday (3) bachelor/bachelorette weekend. If nothing else, you might get a bottle of champagne

Almost 4 weeks in and my status is still wrong. It was correct for the first ~1 day and then bumped down a level. Shouldn’t be hard as all my nights last year were SPG. This is ridiculous.
