Can someone post a copy of the letter (email) regarding the elite night credit of 15 nights?

I'm with an American Express SPG CSR right now, and they are absolutely clueless.

Thanks Jerry. Was there an email as well and did it come from Marriott/SPG or American Express Canada?

Interesting, considering SPG no longer exists. Sounds like their copywriter never got the memo...

The credit card is still called the SPG card though, no? They did not rename the product itself.

I was thinking more of the "15 Elite Night Credits towards the next level of Elite status in the SPG Program". Elite status in a non-existent program is of limited use. It would be interesting to see what the footnotes are, but the OP neglected to include them.

You will go through US immigration at SFO. Luggage will be tagged all the way to YVR but you must pick up at SFO to clear customs.

There were a few days in 2018 that Flying Blue was a part of Amex Canada transfer partner.and buzz around it coming and staying.

What is the latest? Will other partners be added this year preferably flying blue, WestJet and SQ?
