Yes I frequently do. Recently redeemed 5 nights is NYC which would typically have cost over $2000 or 12000 points per night for 36000.
Remember that if you book 5 nights you pay for 4 |

I didn't realize Starwood did 4/5 like Hilton does - that would make a difference. Do they have a program similiar to the AXON where if you have an AX card you get a discount on points for a 4 night stay just in case the 5th night just doesn't work because of logistics? At Hilton we can book 4 50k nights for 190k, not great but helps a bit.

That is correct beltway

Not another SPG account, but ANY other Amex card. Apparently some of their rules have changed. So I'm out 20,000 SPG points. :-( (They did credit me with the 10,000 on first purchase).

If you read back, I think a pattern has been established that this is a problem for people who are prompted and sign in to their accounts when they apply. If you apply without signing in you get the bonus without a problem.

I still may keep this card as my daily spender, has anyone been able to get the AF waived ? |
20K arrived into my account this morning after taking out the UK card in late Nov.
