One of the first posts I ever read on TUG was from somebody who'd read about a recent refurbishment that included teal ottomans but <gasp!> there wasn't one in the unit s/he got. Seriously, this person was ticked off that the ottoman wasn't teal but brown! Since then I always think of these, "what can they give us to reward our status?" posts as The Teal Ottoman Posts.
With status comes more and more frequent stays with (generally) better unit placements, longer Reservation Windows to book those stays, higher accumulation of Bonvoy Points and status, shorter deadlines for banking/borrowing DC Points with longer usage periods, access to exclusive offers, etc etc etc. A few of us TUGgers have even received handwritten welcome notes and bottles of wine from the GM's. All of that already puts owners in the lower status tiers at a disadvantage, in my opinion.
It's enough. They give the higher status tiers enough. And asking for more, especially for things that are MF's line items which will increase MF's for all owners, just doesn't seem right to me.
