I've seen many post that they get SPG bonuses for no particular reason.

I was also told that if I did have confirmed seats I couldn't change them to a different flight/routing without releasing what was already confirmed, leaving me the likelihood of losing my reservation completely. That sounds wrong. Is it?

I'm already at agent#3 for this award booking. #1 was fabulous. #2 was probably the worst CO agent I've *EVER* had. #3 gave me the above questionable advice.

So I finally have time to plan the IAH-SEA-IAH flights to go around the SEA-NRT trip that I booked ages ago. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how many days to spend in SEA? I was thinking 2, but the other half suggests an extra day or two. We have the vacation time and neither of us have been there before, but I'm just debating if I should burn 4 days worth of hotel points in SEA :confused:

Any idea what the spend requirement is? I'd have to check where we're at...



I've received other SPG AMEX bonuses for what appeared to be for no particular reason so I figured this was for the same unknown reason. Either way, I'm definitely not complaining. :)

I'm really liking this Pats-Saints game (sorry NE fans).

On 4th & 4 with 4 minutes to play in the 3rd quarter the Pats go for it. Stupid.

The fact that they didn't convert makes it doubly so.

Here are a few:
1. Seattle Air and Space Museum
2. Pikes Place Market
3. Wine Shop near Pikes PLace Market
4. Boeing Museum, Flying Heritage Collection, and Restoration hanger for museum of flight all at Everett Field.
5. Glass museum in Tacoma
6. Snoqualimie Falls (if you have a car)
7. Pioneer Square Tour

Seattle is a great city with plenty to do. We stayed at a newly minted Double Tree called The Artic Hotel. The rooms are a little small but the hotel has a lot of history and kinda in the middle of the city.

Isn't the arrogant line a little played?
