Didn't some people report earlier this year (when EUA was messed-up), that CO's system wasn't recognizing status on some reservations that were made prior to attaining status. Perhaps I am misremembering. This is a common problem with SPG's IT system. If you just changed status levels with SPG (for the better), always call the hotels where you have pre-booked reservations, and have them refresh the reservation. Otherwise, you'll find yourself getting Gold treatment as a Plat, or non-status treatment as a Gold.
Of course it's still annoying that they can't post a PDF of your folio to your account on their website, like Hilton does, or automatically e-mail you a copy of the folio, regardless of the hotel, like Marriott does. Starwood really needs to get itself into the current decade when it comes to technology. |

Gold treatment? Starwood? :confused:

LOL. It is a bit of an Oxymoron. SPG might as well not have a Gold tier. It is absolutely useless. Plat is phenomenal with them, though.

I don't have much trouble with my gold SPG status. I certainly don't get suites at check-in or anything, but I get my breakfasts and some bonus points. Considering that I get it from AmEx PLT I think I do pretty well for the amount I invested to achieve it.

I called and the rep said they are out of upgradeable seats and the remaining seats are revenue. If they do not sell the seats I could get upgraded the day of at the airport.:rolleyes:

You've been lucky with the breakfast thing.
:rolleyes: I should petition SPG. AmEx Plat Gold + Butt in Bed gold = Plat? Right? :o |

More importantly - UPS just delivered my Biscoff order.
If I can't sit in the PClub, I'll just create my own at home. |

Does anyone in The Box have experience with blocking off rooms at a Marriott? I spoke with a Sales Manager today about it today and when I inquired about the MR points, she said I would receive points "for booking the block". We are not paying for these rooms so I know I don't get MR points/stays as I would if I had paid for them, but what does Marriott do in this case? Do I get some points as a thank you for choosing Marriott for our guests? |
