Not an option. As I live in the Middle East I'm not going to phone call a US phone number and spend hundreds of $$ on a phone call. Is there an e-mail address for us Globalists instead?

I shall wait and see if I get contacted by a Concierge member.....

Are you sure that there is no US toll free number to call for free through Skype? Try +18002331234 Other option is send a message through the app where is a Twitter and Messenger options.

I am not sure if toll-free numbers include international phone calls or not, but I will consider it (along with Skype.) Also, I do not know how to use Twitter but will definitely get some help soon

Thank you (and every one else) for your suggestion & feedback.

Just download Skype and dial the number.

The standard time to get a concierge is at minimum a week. Many have reported on FT that it’s been over a month and they haven’t gotten one yet...
Guess I have a good one then lol because he contacted me less than 48 hours after my stay posted.

And that was in the last year? That’s crazy as I and many others who made Globalist for the first time last year definitely didn’t receive one right away.

I have never done a mattress run in my life. I'm thinking of doing this if the price is right. I know I have to check-in in person. However, if I were to book a 30 day stay or something like that, won't the hotel check on me? Let's say they do that on the 14th day and there's no evidence of me in the room, can they cancel my stay?

Most hotels will check way before that. And generally they will cancel your stay if you have not been around.

Why not talk to the manager and just be straightforward about it?

How do you have 30 days of hotel to just waste? At $100 that’s $3000! To buy status?
