Weird situation:
Browsing the Amex site yesterday and noticed some reasonable London Starwood hotel deals that had a footnote along the lines of 'Amex Platinum only'. Called Centurion to book these rates on the assumption that I would qualify for all rates, Centurion and downwards. Apparently not!
Advice was that this does indeed only apply to Plat holders. If I wanted to take advantage of the deal, I would have to generate a (free) subsidiary Plat card from the Centurion account and then use that.
Seems like a lot of work for Amex here, but I've gone ahead and done this just to prove a point. I'll see what happens when I call to cancel the card immediately upon receipt... http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif
