What benefits of II Platinum membership do you find most useful? I just bought the membership for 2 years - now I have to use it.
You can't request an upgrade, but if you are doing an instant exchange, the upgrade fees are half if you are platinum. I have platinum and it's kind of a no brainer between the upgrade fee discount and the free guest certificates.
Of course, during flex, there are no upgrade fees.If you exchange into a larger unit than the one you deposited, II now charges an "upgrade fee". This is $99 (or $59 if you have platinum) per size upgrade (studio to 1br, 1br to 2br, 2br to 3br, etc) The exchange could be during an instant exchange during flex change or otherwise. It could also be a match for an ongoing request where you request the same size but match to a larger unit. II will call you to pay the upgrade fee before confirming the exchange.
