What’s annoying is I had a 4 night reservation at the RC and truly wasn’t expecting anything, so booked my flights to PQC to leave after 3 nights in SIN. Wish I had stayed for the extra night. I’ll try to load more pics today. |
Club Lounge
Pics of lounge. (Still trying to figure this out. Thought I’d be able to do it from my iPhone, but nothing came through!) |

View of MBS from Club Lounge

Impossible to add additional photos using Edit with either browser. Sorry for the multiple posts!) |
Millenia Suite
Now that I have this picture thing figured out!

There was a powder room too that I did not take a picture of. https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...ccef8a7bdc.jpg You could see MBS from all the windows, but here it is from the bed! :) |
Wow, awesome suite. Looks like the lounge was not too crowded, either.

complimentary buffet breakfast upgraded to an 1100 sq ft Millenia Suite given lounge access for the first night singapore is not a well regarded city for hotels, this is an example of why some stick with the RC there |

honored mistake rate (almost free?) and extended things when property doesnt participate in rewards, awesome
singapore is not a well regarded city for hotels, this is an example of why some stick with the RC there To be fair, Chase is the one who took the loss on this, not RC. So they probably saw my rate as $400+. However, I’m still willing to hire out my services to anyone who is dissatisfied with their ambassador. ;) |
ah, like FHR thing, where amex paid ex-GH santiago
but RC SIN still doesnt participate in rewards program |

Those are some expensive macaroons.
Yeah, based on my 2018 spend, I figure about $20,000+ per macaroon, although they were presented in a cute little mesh bag that might be worth something (less than a thousand yen) too. Did I mention that I didn't even get a holiday best wishes email from anyone at Starriott, including my assigned Ambassador? RIP the year we got the wonderful chocolates as a holiday gift, or some surprises such as a bathrobe (LTP?) and tote bag (random gift, but very much appreciated). Can we perhaps hope for something when Bonvoy officially starts in February? Even DL sent out "merger gifts" (Tiffany lead crystal vase) to PMNW elites during the merger. |
Nights at RC SIN count for elite status?
I know the hotel doesn't participate in the program so we can't earn, but do nights spent there count towards the nights needed to requalify elite?
|
Will nights at RC Singapore count towards Plat qual?
I know the RC in Singapore doesn't participate in Bonvoy, so I won't earn points, and generally they don't care about your status (though in the past i've gotten a courtesy upgrade for Plat). My questions are:
1. Will the nights there count towards my Plat qual even if they aren't earning points 2. If I use an SPG branded AMEX will this spend earn 6x points, or will it be just 1:1, in which case i'll use a CSR and 3x it. Thanks! |
