American Express Membership Rewards - Did AE Platinum invite members to ST Regis opening on 8/1/01 at Monarch Beach, Ca

The new St Regis at Laguna Beach, Ca ha a grand opening invitation only---did any of the Platinum members get invitation?
Does St Regis have any ff/ points programs?

Out of curiosity, is there a forum on this board in which you did not ask about invitations to the Monarch Beach St. Regis Grand Opening? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

Best,

Why not just call the St. Regis and ask for an invitation? You sound very motivated - you could probably convince them! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Looks like he missed the grand opening as it looks to have been at the beginning of the month. Oh well.
