The way to game it is to book a room one level below a suite or corner room. Doing this I have consistently had upgrades to suites or corner rooms. Another tactic is to book rooms at hotels that only have standard rooms or suites.
The most success I've had is in Europe.
Early check-in never seems to be available. Late check out is usually available.

My experience with early check-in has been the opposite. I typically check-in 3-4hrs early. I just show up early with my luggage and ask if they can accommodate, asking if I can leave my luggage there until check-in if they can't. They typically can accommodate, and if they can't check me in early they've never had a problem holding my luggage. The late check-out is where I've run into issues, rarely being able to accommodate more than an hour or 2, but even then, they always hold my luggage.

Top kek. Even as Spire Elite I get essentially nothing. The whole deal with IHG is you have to pay for status, that is buy up to their Ambassador
