Considering their elite status doesn't do anything...not much?

Ability to top up 40k free nights is awesome - basically makes the free nights just as  valuable as regular points
Sorry I don't have any snarky line for this space

At least now they will be usable don’t know about valuable
The $50 United travel bank cash is a nice touch
And 10,000 bonus points and $100 statement credit after spending $20k on purchases + 1 additional purchase each calendar year

Because it expires in 1 year.
Because you lose points on cheaper hotels.

I'm not sure what you mean. We stayed at 4 different IHG hotels this past summer and were upgraded upon request to a suite in all but one upon arrival with Platinum status.

Same experience in summer '20 as well at one hotel for 4 nights. we got a 2 room (1 BR) suite for 4 nights for the points cost of a standard room for 3 nights. In this case, it was confirmed after I called them at the time of booking a week in advance. Explained that we were coming with a baby...
