Very much the tactics of Qatar and to think they will host the World Cup in 4 years, what a joke. They are thieves.

Thieves because they want to charge more for a 2nd night when the free night still exists, Bit OTT to be honest not as if they are forcing you to stay,

Yes shameless, imagine charging $1100 for return biz class tickets from Sri Lanka to the USA.

From what I understand, the price for the second night has gone back and forth between $50 and $100 in the past. So, if your stopover is far enough in future and you can afford to wait, then keep checking and it may revert back to $50 again. No guarantees obviously.

Just curious, I am SPG Platinum, can I get the benefit when I stay in Westin?

I do not see where I can get USD50 for second night. It is USD100 I believe. If this is the case, I may stay on some of the Accor property in town.
Yes, you can get Plat benefits like lounge access and upgrades. No point or stay credits.

Yes, just did this, full 48hrs given from time of clearing passport control.

Still no reply from [email protected] more than 3-4 days even the auto reply said they will reply within 24 hours.

Did you actually end up in the lounge for free? The only reason I ask is because I have an upcoming reservation at Westin and I asked my Ambassador what Plat benefits I would receive, and I was told upgrade if available, but no lounge.

Awesome! Thanks so much for this. Any insight into the relevance of the "1st-Visit" line on your sticker?

It means that you are offered the room for a period of 24h, as opposed to the standard check-in/check-out times.
Say if you check in at 2am and depart at 10pm on the same day, you are using only one night, as opposed to two.

Yup. I had breakfast in the lounge the day I landed since I came in before dawn.

It was available for about 2 months (as low as $1200 and change with promo codes), but has been gone since earlier in March.
