Interesting to note that Amex FHR still states a guaranteed 4pm, and they are usually pretty good about getting hotels to honour the terms. Combined with the FHR breakfast that Plats still don't get in North America, FHR is often much more attractive than Platinum benefits.

Wait - never thought of that. Brilliant hack. Is there any downside to booking via FHR instead of say, booking a Fairmont via Accor ? And what is the "Hotel Collection" (is that new?)
