2 months ago, some of us got the complimentary Hyatt Passport elite card. Yesterday, my mom (Gold Elite) got a Starwood gold card good until 2/28/2007.

3 Onepass miles per dollar spent, free upgrades, 4pm check out, etc.

Plus, 3,000 bonus OP miles for every 3 nights till 7/15/2006. (Maximum bonus: 9,000).

Well, next time, if I can get my mom a cheap room in a Westin on Priceline, we'll see if they give her the upgrade and late checkout.
