They should get the same loyal customer perks as anyone else.
I used to work in a company where the local pols had their accounts tagged. The previous manager wanted to pull them out of any “collections” activity, so if they were late with a payment…we would not hound them like a regular customer.
I pulled that code off all accounts.
‘I took the phone calls from these scum bags when they were “threatened” with a hit to their credit score—like everyone else when they failed to pay the bill.

I did that to Al Gore Sr. He “demanded” a room in the hotel when we were full. Eventually we gave them a standard room that canceled. They argued about the rate. Even pulled the “do you know who I am” ceap and didn’t want to give us a credit card. I told him Jesus couldn’t check in without a credit card.
Then they took everything in the mini bar and wouldn’t pay.
I finally referred them to Dunn & Bradley. They were livid. Especially the wife.
Entitled bastards.
