I am looking for some opinions from the bright people who frequent this room...
Do you use the app to check in or prefer to check in, in person?
I have done both, but it seems the upgrades come more frequently in person. I generally don't see the benefit to using the app, but I would like to know what other smart people think. I am about to leave for a trip to Hawaii and I would really like to maximize my upgrade potential. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!
I find the app to be most useful when I plan to check in either before the normal check in time or quite late in the evening. If I'm arriving early, using the app helps make sure I have a room when I arrive. When arriving late, the property won't wonder if I'll be a no show and potentially give my room to someone else.
In my experience, using the app has not made a difference on whether I get an upgrade or not.
