Why were you supposed to? They happened to tell it to me in writing and they honored it there.

You're mixing up stories. That's what I told the US agent when they were going to rebook us in UA coach and I was having none of that.
I like to fix issues as they happen rather than play the comp game.

I don't understand this story.

On Friday they told you you could pay for an upgrade, did you try and take them up on it? What happened on friday when you tried? Why did you wait till checkout to ask about it?

Just trying to get the facts

Me personally, absolutely not. I'm not saying you personally did something wrong, but I do find a lot of the things people do or brag about on DDF while maybe not against Halacha, distasteful or bordering on a Hillul HaShem (and trust me I'm happy to nicely push for upgrades and extras).

 I like to be rewarded for my loyalty but as a business owner who tries to give great service but also deals with a lot of jackasses manufacturing problems to get discounts or future credits, I never want to be "that guy." 

Most importantly, I try to always remember that at the  end of the day HaShem gives my parnassah so If I do something remotely reflecting bad on myself or the Klal, I'll just lose some other money, client, etc. somewhere down the line...

Hilton is having a promotion at certain hotels (inspiring WAJ) where the 3rd night of a 3+ night weekend stay (check in on Thursday, Friday or Saturday) is free. Book by 9/30, stay by 10/31.
