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).
If you are based in Singapore the Amex contact info should be
011-65-6296-0220
No idea if the international cards participate in the Amex Concierge Service
In the US qualifying cards are
• Business Platinum
• Personal Platinum
• Delta Reserve
• Centurion Cards
Thanks for the heads up that late checkout is not a guarantee
I have lifetime Platinum with SPG. Though I still like the program and some of their 4 star and 5 star properties I find myself doing little business with them these days
Have moved on to InterContinental where they don't pull the seasonal premium up charge game when I redeem their awards
which typically are fair market priced shy of the next devaluation
Find SPG Cash and Points now more expensive and frequently still difficult to book
Hyatt Gold Passport is doing a better job in most ways and I love the new elite member rate that is exclusive to loyal customers creating true value
Their cash and point rates are readily/reasonably available even in high demand cities like New York
