I've read dozens of forum posts going back many years talking about "Premium" rooms; what are they, what determines when the designation will show, what criteria must be met for a model to have a "Premium" room.... blah, blah, blah. There is much confusion, disagreement and vagaries, and/or it has changed so much over the years that it has become pointless to read the forums on this topic.
The one thing that seemed to hold true was that a model's room could be tagged as "Premium" only if their rate was over a certain amount. My research shows this to be untrue. Why? I've been in high-priced models' rooms, 150/90 for example, and have NEVER seen those models tagged as "Premium." At the same time I've been in relatively new models' rooms with low rates, like 75cpm Multi- only, and they're marked "Premium." The only thing that seems to be "Premium" is the tag that says "Premium." Furthermore, when I ask these models why their room is marked "Premium" they either had no idea it was marked as "Premium", they can't explain what it means, and they have no idea what determines it. They are as clueless as I am about it.
Is there ANYONE who can explain this once and for all so that it is clear what it means, how it is determined, who has control and oversight on it's use, etc. And PLEASE don't reply with a bunch of speculations. If you know the facts, spill it here. If you're guessing or speculating, then squelch the noise.
