US SPG Amex -- no free night award.
Canadian AMEX also has a $120 annual fee + $50 supplementary card fee. It's also missing the additional starpoint when used at SPG properties, and doesn't give you the 2 stays / 5 nights bonus.
I'd gladly give up my free (CAT 1 - 4) weekend night for those two benefits, especially since Category 4 is on the SPG endangered list.
