I just stayed at the Omni in downtown Austin and have to say, was VERY impressive with the quality of service and attention to detal. Stayed on the club level was very much impressed with the food for Breakfast and the afternoon drinks and snacks. Much better then what I get at Sheraton. I need to start looking for a better chain of hotels when I travel.

But, when you talk to the corporate folks, they seem to forget where they work. Nobody seems to actually know anything about how things work. Everyone is super nice and professional and can help navigate some of the different offers regarding rooms (aka - they're good sales people). But details of program specifics - especially when you do things that are out of the norm - are sometimes... lacking. Ditto with the PR surrounding the SG program.
The only 3 things I learned about the program is: Airlines miles are per stay, not per night, discounted rates not gotten through they're own website do not count and everything takes days (weeks, sometimes) to show up on the account.
