So I just recieved an email welcoming me to the corporate preferred program? (which I have aparantly been since my first hotel with SPG in August - when I joined my firm). I have read this thread right back to 04', and I just want to confirm, that the 2000 bonus at the 5 and 10 stay is no longer valid?
Also, are there any other corporate benefits (points per dollar, etc...) that corporate preferred get over normal preferred. I want to ensure I didn't miss out on anything for my past stays.
I am assuming that the answer is no, based on this info I found on SPG
As a valued Corporate Preferred Guest® member, you earn 2 Starpoints® for every eligible dollar spent at participating hotels. You also enjoy additional benefits, such as enhanced rooms1, 4 p.m. late checkout2 and a 50%-off award after just two stays3.
As always, you have flexible redemption options, including our signature Free Night Awards without blackout dates and MomentsSM, our auction site that allows you to redeem Starpoints for once-in-a-lifetime A-list experiences. The world is yours. Go out and get it.
Does the hotel know what type of Corporate Preferred level I am (assuming the 3 levels discussed in an 05' post still exist)? Lurker, are you able to tell me what level I am if I PM SPG number?
This all won't matter, as in 2 nights I will be gold, and will be Platinum by the end of the year, but I just want to know for future reference (in case travel ever diminishes), as well as to pass on to some co-workers, and to make sure I havent missed out on anything on past stays.
Thanks
