jchand means Ritz-Carlton, not FS. He is right, though - you can see the discounted rate plus details of your 'special amenity' on the RC website. All FHR hotels also have free breakfast, upgrade if available and late check-out. Test it out by looking at dates a few weeks ahead as FHR rooms are limited.
Note that FHR hotels are pretty much all five star establishments. If you spend a lot of time in five star hotels then you will get money's worth out of Plat. If you normally stay in four star properties or below then you will not get much out of FHR (except, in some cases, you will get a five star for what you would normally pay for a four star).
