As an AA Platinum, please tell me how and where I register for a Starwood gold. I tried before and was told there was no way Starwood could do it.
Thanks</font>
If you are Gold or above with AA, call 888-625-4990 (U.S. and Canada) and mention Enrollment Code RY. You'll be given SPG Gold status and receive 1,000 bonus AA miles on your first stay.
One thing to keep in mind though - the way it's worded, most likely you'll be signed up for a "direct deposit", so your SPG points will be immediately converted into miles. Not sure if you can switch back to earning Starpoints after your status been upgraded.
