The other appealing thing is when booking through the Platinum American Express desk they include Continental breakfast
and a one way/one time driver to area airports during your stay for either pick up or the return^
Otherwise I would have redeemed with American Miles and not used revenue
True true, do note the 6pm check-out is not guaranteed so do remember to ask during check-in as well as the room upgrade (if they didn't say anything about upgrades).
Nice benefit from Amex, not sure if we have something similar here. It's a Platinum Credit Card or a Platinum Charge Card that has this benefit?
I'm contemplating whether I should continue to maintain the status after I get my SPG Platinum (later this year). Trying to trim my fats (literally and figuratively).
