If it's the Mastercard promo here, itappears to only have 10 days left to redeem, not 2 months. Or did I misread something?

SD1K had it right. I had booked my stay at the LM in London, but ended up canceling the trip. So this seemed my last chance to use it.
Oh, and I didn't mention that I was offered the usual Plat amenity card and took the points.

Regarding the check-in service, it's the first time in SPG properties I escorted by receptionist and bellboy to accompany to process check-in in the guest suite. It only happened to me when stay in like Peninsula and Four Seasons with a frequent guests profile records before.
I added the airport limousine price in above reviews as well.

Does anybody know why LMBkk uses the name "Avantec?" I googled the term and it appears to be the name of various corporate entities. Just sounds kind of weird to be calling your best suites after companies.
