Status recognition was pretty good this trip

[gumpy]

Hi All,

As most of you know this program has been a bit hit and miss for awhile but i'd like to report back that for my honeymoon it was very good. I'm Plat btw, unsure if I updated my profile.

Sofitel AKL - Room upgrade, platter of fruit (delivered about 1 hr after check in) and free drinks voucher on check-in. Points posted within 2 days. On a side note, really nice hotel.

Next part of the trip was done on a package (flights, transfers etc all inclusive price and a pretty good price at that)
Sofitel Tahiti - (first and final night of stay) both times at check in coughtail vouchers + bottle of wine + 1 L of sparkling water + 1 L of still water. (no room upgrade). No points from the stay, prolly because it was on the package. Side note, it's really not much of a sofitel...
Sofitel Moorea - 3 hrs of internet free, under water snorkling book for matching up fish, coughtail vouchers, no room upgrade (we were in an OTW Superior room). They gave me some "bonus points", not much about 600.

Anyway, pretty happy with it all, i wasn't expecting much for the package section of my trip but they pulled through.

Note the for Sofitel stays, the defined benefits for Le Club Platinum can be better:

In Sofitel*, Pullman and MGallery hotels:
- Complimentary drink and welcome gift
- Upgrade **
- Late check-out up to 16:00**
- Guaranteed room availability (when you book at least three days prior to arrival)
