My current status is Titanium thru the end of 2025. So far I can't say I've noticed much difference, especially in the US. Going international now, and will make an assessment there. Great detail in your review!

[@40-and-flying]

Thanks for sharing! We don't have a lot of experience as Platinum in the US yet, so I appreciate your insight. We'll have another stay and room tour video up on a US stay next week - I will spoil it a bit and say the benefits are not as good as we've had internationally.

@@40-and-flying looking fwd to it

[@valthelittledragon6056]

If in asia pacific then yes. If at usa then no 😂. But american have access to the bonvoy brilliant anyway only for $650. So why still think? Lol
For asian customer like me, I literally have to do stay for 50 nights that will easily costs $5000 just to get platinum status

[@40-and-flying]

Thanks for sharing!

I hear there are more status bonvoy in the states than non status making it impossible for everyone to receive benefit. Try going to Asia and you will be treated like a king.

[@40-and-flying]

That is true in our experience. In fact, at the end of the video we compare benefit value by region (Europe, Asia, and the US) with specifics of upgrades and perks in each region!
