On my wedding night we got the cheapest room at the airport hotel because I had to fly back to my home state and leave my new wife the next day due to my work. They saw she was in her wedding dress and upgraded us the the best room which was the size of 5 rooms. It really made the day special and I’m thankful for being given a lot when we had nothing.
as someone who worked at the front desk, please also just be nice to the people behind the counter... sometimes there's literally no upgrades left, we've been told not to offer upgrades to anyone for various reasons, or the room type immediately above yours is booked out and all we have left is suites, and we can't give you a $100 upgrade from a basic room to the presidential suite.
I once had a guy demand an upgrade, didn't believe me when I said the hotel was full (it was three days before new years eve in the most popular holiday resort in the country) and so he unplugged his fridge to try and claim it was "broken" and he deserved a free upgrade for the issue.
Same most of the guest always are rude af. For example we charge $30 for parking every night and they get so upset with me when I tell them. They always claim that they didn’t know so it should be waived.. it’s on all our websites on our app even before you ever the parking lot there’s multiple signs that say parking is $30. I would waive it if guests weren’t so hostile about it.
I accept this if I can’t book one separately. I will sometimes call ahead and see if one is available without making them aware I’m going to be there in about 30 seconds.
I recall one time I got the craziest upgrade, in my lifetime, haha. I paid for 3 days at an anime con. We went in and everything looked neat and clean, except the toilet. Someone pissed in and on it and it had not been flushed lmao. I called down to front desk and asked if someone could come up and clean the toilet - like everything was clean in the bathroom, except the seat and the obvious not flushed. They instead, sent up a manager and he apologized profusely and gave us the card key to a huge suite with a 'lounge' room next to it that had massage chairs, billiard tables and card tables, large tv etc in it. Had to have the card key to get in. Pretty badass and unexpected, free drinks included in the room, no additional charge for any of it, and heck yeah we took it! X)
@@M0r32Lyfe as an Ambassador, you will automatically be upgraded to Platinum Elite status so similar benefits will apply while staying at a Holiday Inn/Crowne Plaza Hotel. The only thing is that as a Platinum member, benefits are NOT guaranteed (subject to available), not like the Ambassador where members get GUARANTEED benefits (like this).
@TheTravellingLuis, yes you can get the upgrade even with reward nights unless they are really sold out. So you might want to call in before you make the booking.
It should, also try booking from different devices (use VPN) and different methods. If you have any friend in hotels/traveling trying booking with them. (And just compare prices)
She pays 200$, signs up for a yearly subscription, has an incentive to repeat business for the year, and all they have to do is let her use a higher tier room as long as they have some sitting around free? And she went and advertised it like an insane bargain? Oh I'm sure the hotel people are fuming.
@@Baggravation did u miss the entire short?? She just said she paid 200 bucks to become an ambassador and when you do that you get upgrades for "free" which the upgrade is well worth more than 200 so yeah thats the free upgrade
Upgrades for higher member status are generally based on room availability on the day of check in. The odds that an upgrade would be available for two weeks is slim to none. The hotel is not going to downgrade reservations already on the books for those higher value rooms. Generally speaking, you are only going to get those upgrades on reservations for 5 days of less and only if the hotel isn't very busy. Hense the words "based on availability" linked to the benefit. I've been a Night Auditor at a hotel with a similar program for 6 years.
The first time in my adult life I stayed at a hotel I got a free upgrade at check in, purely on accident, just bc I was Nice to the chick at the desk. I asked how her day was and she Gasped and said "oh my God, no one ever asks how I'm doing, I'm great, thanks for asking"... Then she told me for being a nice person she upgraded us to an oceanside room,, and it was a corner suite so it was bigger than most. I had booked a "regular room" on the Not ocean side bc it was cheaper and we were not going to be in the room much,but we actually enjoyed being in the room and hung out there a lot when the weather was bad or got sick of being at our families condo down the beach.
@@tylerhiatto280Since it sounds like a vacation hotel they could have unfortunately been one frequented by entitled people. Some hotels basically only get the antisocial me me me insecure upper middle class to rich sorts, and they view service industry workers as subhuman.
As someone who works in the industry it’s if upgrades are available, it’s never a guarantee. Upgraded rooms are available via inventory and are traditionally only in a bundle of the amount available to give out for free. If we gave out all the “upgraded rooms” for free there would be a loss in overall profit. I know money isn’t everything but I’ve also had this conversation more times than I can count about what is and is not an upgrade and how someone is “guaranteed” an upgrade because of their status.
oh so for example from say 20 suites, they can only give out 5 rooms to the ambassadors, if the 5 room quota are full, then the the sixth person that day wouldn't be able to upgrade?
@@peachbooks3199 unfortunately, yes that’s the standard practice. It’s funny to word it like this but something that gets taken into account when looking at “is the hotel profitable?” Is a thing called ADR (average daily rate). Hotels are giving (if they sign up for it it’s not free) a report they shows how much their ADR is compared to other properties in a local area. This ADR is based off of the average cost of a room sold. So if the room was valued at $1500 but the room was giving as an upgrade to someone who paid $750 that would drop the overall ADR for the hotel because they had expected to make double that income. If the upgrade any high ranking member comes into play the ownership could look at the hotel compared to others and say “the hotel isn’t making money. Shut it down.” Jobs lost because the owners don’t see value in it. This is a reason (though I still don’t and won’t fully agree with it) why there’s limits to how many people get upgraded. And not all hotels function like this but the majority I’ve worked in in my career and various positions, this is the practice I’ve ran into. I hope this was educational for those who read this. Please don’t take it out on the front desk, they don’t have control over it and they deal with a lot of crap on a regular basis. Be kind. ❤️
@@bettywith2girls it’s a weird situation for sure and you do get perks for being a high remember which is always nice. People if you do this, do ask! You could get lucky! But if they say no, please understand it’s because of the above. You never know until you ask though but be kind to a “no” for there are more reasons than you’re aware of.
Plot twist: that’s what they *wanted* you to think… by letting you choose between an unreasonably high price and a high price, you pay a high price but you end up feeling you saved a lot of money 😏
Exactly that, like with asking someone a favour, you make the first favour bigger so when you ask the smaller second favour they will more likely help out 😁
Uuuummm...yup! This is true and definitely works. Though make sure you check the hotel/hotel chains policies and special programs, cause some require that you be a member for a at least a few months to a year. I know other tips as well. I worked the front desk of a Marriott, as the Night Auditor, so I ran the whole hotel overnight, by myself. In the downtown area of my hometown beside the large sports fields and concert and convention venues. 😘
Is delta by Marriott included? We were told we can do our stay at Delta and pay daily resort fees, or upgrade for a fee to vacation village resort but I wanna know is there other options if we stay Marriott
I actually worked for Intercontinental Hotel's reservations center. They told us not to promote this LOL but since we had commissions on how much revenue we secure, I would ALWAYS offer it to our guests. It comes with other great perks too like free access to their "VIP" lounge, definitely something I wanted to try for myself
The upgrade is usually 1 step upgrade from whatever room you have booked. Meaning you will be upgraded to deluxe room if you booked a standard room and you won't get a suite upgrade from standard room even if you are an IHG ambassador. I worked for IHG, handling rewards club program and ambassador programs for 6 long years.
At my hotel, the suites are one-step upgrades from standards. And we upgrade several people a day, at no cost, just to keep some cheap rooms open. Even without that, upgrades are often available for our members, which is a free program. IHG hotel btw ✌️
It kinda depends on the hotel's policy and what is available. The hotels are franchise after all, so they can say "We don't care as long as we have rooms available and no other bookings coming in." Like if a reservation is only 1 or 2 nights, current availability for that suite is showing nobody coming in for it and lots of availability, I will just upgrade to that rather than a deluxe anyway so I can ensure that the platinum and diamond get their upgrades.
My mom is a member of IHG rewards, and it’s honestly one of the most underrated hotel groups in the world. They have really great perks for their members. I stayed at the Intercontinental in Porto Portugal, and the room overlooked the main Boulevard. It was definitely one of the nicest hotels I stayed in in a long time.
Of course, they give you an upgrade, but when you pay $200, there's a good chance that you'll choose Intercontinental on every trip, and won't look at other hotels and their prices. Win win situation 🤪
You have to be a social media or content creator to be able to be accepted as embassador because the free upgrade is not really free it means you promote their hotel for free in exchange for that. It'd up to them to weight the benefit. If you have no social media or little presence in the platforms they may not accept your sign-up.
For Intercontinental hotels, you can sign up on their website for free and then pay $200 to become Ambassador member for 1 year. They will guarantee room upgrade.
I can also confirm it because I work in a Hotel but don't tell the workers that u want an upgrade just say your an ambassador or member and you'll get an update
Okay that makes sense, I was a bit confused about what it means exactly to be an ambassador or how you become one, but being an influencer of sorts makes sense
Ehhh, Intercontinental Hotels & Resorts isn't as common as their other hotels (Mostly just in major cities), so if you get an opportunity to book at one and they have a suite available, I guess? But otherwise the IHG One Rewards Platinum and Diamond memberships are more useful since you get the suite upgrade potential, it works at A LOT more hotels of IHG's, and your points don't expire so you can build those up and get free stays. - [I work for IHG brand hotels.]
I used to work for Marriott. As far as I was aware, at least for Marriott brand hotels, one must earn points over a period of time to become higher tiers. Couldn't just pay $xxx and get instant higher tier perks.
Being an ambassador is different than member loyalty status, basically it makes you like a “promoter” for their hotel - it’s like an exchange of services
I never stayed at a hotel with an upgrade option because all the rooms of all hotels I stayed were basically the same. The difference was in the number of beds.
Congratulations! I've been watching your videos since pandemic started (I guess)...and it's nice to know you actually travelled now. Did you ride your plane? Hehehe
I work for IHG. Yeah, this is one way we get people to join the programs as a marketing ploy. That and the late check-outs. Usually, they want to offer these things at the desk because we get benefits for signing people up.
Depends on availability. I work at a property with a little over 100 rooms and sometimes have 20+ ambassador members checking in and we only have 3 suites on property. I do my best to accomodate any guest, however it is impossible to upgrate every elite member. The entitlement some guest have when I tell them I can't upgrade them to a suite is absurd. Please treat the hotel staff with kindness, even if we don't place you in a room you didn't pay for lol
Me, who works for a hotel company, knowing the cost to become an ambassador with us is spending $20k *and* staying a minimum of 100 nights a year, watchin this like 👁️👁️
Of course not, but when you work at the desk you have to have a good business acumen, and giving rooms out for free is completely opposite of that, especially premium rooms.
@@lorep7412I imagine there's still some B.S. reason she could give to not give it to her even with the Ambassador membership. Then she'd just be out $200.
Yep when I used to travel for work, we always stayed at a specific brand so that we would get the points and free upgrades. We paid on our personal cards and the company reimbursed us.
I work in hospitality and I can say these are the most annoying people to deal with lmao next to the people who demand more for having a membership from staff that aren't even authorized to give them a lot of the stuff we do , neat trick tho

I can also confirm it because I work in a Hotel but don't tell the workers that u want an upgrade just say your an ambassador or member and you'll get an update
Well, this way they can say no upgrade room is available. 😅
The cheers at the end
As a Hotelier I LOVE confirm this I'd TRUE! And also applies to us as Employees!!! 😁🙌🏾🎉
"she doesn't know I watch Jeenie Weenie. Watch this" *AcTuAlLy I rEaD yOuR TeRm AnD...*
I think for that I need to be an influencer lol
Right
Okay that makes sense, I was a bit confused about what it means exactly to be an ambassador or how you become one, but being an influencer of sorts makes sense
"fifteen hundred dollars" 😂
Yup, whats wrong with that?
I had to look up what a hotel ambassador was
the receptionist probably wouldn’t respond with that facial expression,
most don’t care
Looks like we should all become an ambassador of intercontinental. Thanks, Jeenie.
Ehhh, Intercontinental Hotels & Resorts isn't as common as their other hotels (Mostly just in major cities), so if you get an opportunity to book at one and they have a suite available, I guess? But otherwise the IHG One Rewards Platinum and Diamond memberships are more useful since you get the suite upgrade potential, it works at A LOT more hotels of IHG's, and your points don't expire so you can build those up and get free stays. - [I work for IHG brand hotels.]
I used to work for Marriott. As far as I was aware, at least for Marriott brand hotels, one must earn points over a period of time to become higher tiers. Couldn't just pay $xxx and get instant higher tier perks.
Being an ambassador is different than member loyalty status, basically it makes you like a “promoter” for their hotel - it’s like an exchange of services
As an ambassador, you are entitled to diplomatic immunity too.
Aaaah finallyy someone didn’t say because i follow asfdhffkflshitt😭😭💗
My Mom just like you.. she always buy the lowest room but always gets free upgrade. She often gets free breakfast too lol
At the end, homeboy just casually flips us off
I never stayed at a hotel with an upgrade option because all the rooms of all hotels I stayed were basically the same. The difference was in the number of beds.
Thank you Jennie I'll remember this when i go to Japan
**her friends casually watching her in front of the green screen**
FINALLY I CAN SOMEONE ACTUALLY DID IT!!
The end was beautiful 🥲🥲
it thought she was gonna be like : ("I've secret life hack she doesn't know") *pulls up a glock * "now please upgrade my suite 🤣🤣
Congratulations! I've been watching your videos since pandemic started (I guess)...and it's nice to know you actually travelled now. Did you ride your plane? Hehehe
I work for IHG. Yeah, this is one way we get people to join the programs as a marketing ploy. That and the late check-outs. Usually, they want to offer these things at the desk because we get benefits for signing people up.
I love how you mix a skit with real stuff. Just like the one about the baby born in an airplane.
i like the act especially when she went like ehhhhh enjoy ur stay 😅
Why did I think Jessica who reads fine prints will be appearing here
That ending gives the same vibes as applauding when a plane lands 😂🤣
“hi can i get a free upgrade 😄”
“No.🤪”
Okay. Now , all I need to do is to become an influencer.
Depends on availability. I work at a property with a little over 100 rooms and sometimes have 20+ ambassador members checking in and we only have 3 suites on property. I do my best to accomodate any guest, however it is impossible to upgrate every elite member. The entitlement some guest have when I tell them I can't upgrade them to a suite is absurd. Please treat the hotel staff with kindness, even if we don't place you in a room you didn't pay for lol
Everyone is gonna be an ambassador now-
Her: We’re in Koreaaaa!!!
Me: Why are there so much people in one hotel room??
Me, who works for a hotel company, knowing the cost to become an ambassador with us is spending $20k *and* staying a minimum of 100 nights a year, watchin this like
👁️👁️
clerk acts like the funds are coming out of her wallet 🙄
Of course not, but when you work at the desk you have to have a good business acumen, and giving rooms out for free is completely opposite of that, especially premium rooms.
Me: Hi, can I get a free upgrade?
Them: No, but 😂
The NO
Me 💀
It doesn’t guarantee it. It’s subject to availability, please read the fine print 😋
Obviously available since she says she can offer it for $1500
@@lorep7412I imagine there's still some B.S. reason she could give to not give it to her even with the Ambassador membership. Then she'd just be out $200.
Heh this seems useful…
Me who’s still going to school 😅
*basically in the future when I graduate this might not be a thing
Jennie just become a mom 😭😭😭😭😭
The cheering at the end made my morning, thank you!
Jeeniee!!❤️ Love 💓
“Cuz i just did it here in koreaaaaaa”
I don’t have the nerve to that
You go girl
How self aware can you possibly not be
The neighbor's peace and quiet: 🫡🫥🏃♂️
Yep when I used to travel for work, we always stayed at a specific brand so that we would get the points and free upgrades. We paid on our personal cards and the company reimbursed us.
How do you know that?
I follow Jeenie and she is an expert so I don’t have to read the fine print 😂
Hahahahaha
am i the only one who realized that the cheering was a sound effect? 😭😭
Ma’am you are officially a genius
Then gets kicked out coz of the noise 😂 you are all so lush 🤗
I work in hospitality and I can say these are the most annoying people to deal with lmao next to the people who demand more for having a membership from staff that aren't even authorized to give them a lot of the stuff we do , neat trick tho
“Hi can I get a free upgrade”
“No”
THE END
Straight up trolled them
