- Need to be Gold or higher to access lounges at Marriott properties.

Unless it's property specific. I remember that at the Westin Turtle Bay, Gold members (SPG and Marriott) were given lounge access.
So with the SPG Business credit card, I book the cheapest available room direct with my card and get lounge access and breakfast at all Sheratons (except resorts), where lounges exist. No fee for first year and card is then $95 annually. One visit a year pretty much pays for annual fee. Gold Elite for both Marriott and Sheraton with annual $30K spend.
