I was on a cash and points stay at the Sheraton FRA. When I checked I was offered a Platinum Amenity and was told I could have 500 points. I confirmed the agent in the Lounge was going to request this before leaving with my card key. When I checked out the next morning I also I also confirmed my request for 500 points. I also had internet useage. Nothing ever posted so I e-mailed Starwood and was told I am not entitled to any points as this was a cash and points stay. Also the Hotel does not give points as a amenity. They totally skipped over my internet useage. My ? Does the Hotel give 500 points as a Platinum amenity? Should I receive points from my internet useage? Also. Since we are at it. I had to pay for my room. When I checked out I was told the cash amount noted under the cash and points terms did not include tax. So they charged me for tax on my $60 US amount in addition to the points they took. Is that correct? This did not happen on my previous cash and point stays. It was certainly not disclosed. Thanks and regards
