Since this is stickied now, can we change the title to "AMEX FAQ" or something?

Can one actually use this to book flights, if not a Swedish cardholder? (You can successfully sign up for a profile with a non-Swedish Amex Platinum card.) Still waiting for a proper online UK PTS service ... "due early 2007" they say.

How does the Swedish site pull up FHR rates? I haven't gotten it to do that for me yet.

go to hotels

select location by airport or city

select dates

type in either chain or part of name of property (FHR properties) in advanced section at bottom

voila!

a couple times ive had the properties not show up, and a couple times i havent been able to get the right city, but the vast majority of the time it works fine.

thanks again to masahiro ^
