I believe I've done those shops recently. My elite status was activated in March of this year, and I still have it without any issue.
Screenshot the heck out of your reservation on the app and that make sure that your elite status is noted on the confirmation email. If it's not, show it to your scheduler and ask how to proceed.
For these shops though...Honestly?
The shops in question are some of the easiest hotel shops out there. No down to the second timing on meal pacing, or excessive photos of every corner of your room. Print off the checklist and timeline they give you. It did me a world of good during my first one, and I've continued to do at least one a month ever since as they were so much fun. The only photo that gave me trouble was in the gift shop, as it's hard to take the 2-3 pictures there with employees so close and no one else there. Good Luck!
Thanks everyone for the replies! I was trying to figure out how to make a weekend trip out of 1 night stays and couldn't figure out how to make it worth it.
MSMaven - for the shops in question that are the easiest shops, are you talking about the ones with elite status? There is one in my city that I avoid as it has no fee and looks to be incredibly detailed. I have a dog, so it would cost me to do the shop since I'd be nervous to leave her alone that long.
