· Access to Sheraton Club Lounges for SPG Amex OPEN Card Members

- so for SPG PLT the enhancement is the waiver of foreign transaction fees and Boingo (the latter is a garbage product in my opinion). It looks like AmEX will loose another customer with $40-50K annual spending on the card. Of course, it is a very small loss compared to Costco.
