If anyone is planing on staying at Waldorf and not eating the free breakfast (Hechsher, Early flight, etc') please PM shimino1

Maybe this goes in another thread but thought this was an apropos article to this discussion, explaining HHonors upgrades and had some nice ways to gently push for one if you still aren't given one at check-in:

The Waldorf in Israel is terrible with giving any kind of substantial upgrade IME.

This might be then where they differ between Gold and Diamonds because I got a nice upgrade and I did put a request in my reservation notes but that was it.

What do you mean "IME"? How many times have you stayed there?
Were these bookings under a diamond account?
