I just pull up the mobile app version of the card instead. I throw away almost all the hotel loyalty cards since I never need them!

Appreciate the update - how long has the moratorium been in place? I requested one back in July (all I have is my old Gold, not my proper Plat card), and it never arrived.

It's been in place since early December, IIRC. If you didn't get a card before that, then what we have is a delivery issue. You might want to check to be sure that your mailing address is correct and call the Customer Contact Center to order a new one since online ordering will not be available until later this month.

Will the online ordering allow us to design our own cards this year, when the online ordering is available again?

I know you don't technically need a hard copy of your membership card but it's just something I kind of like to have...
It let me re-order one online with the existing design, but when I clicked to change it gave some kind of error.

Question New Platinum Cards?

We are now almost through the third week in March. For the past several weeks, I have tried to use the "design your new card" feature on the SPG web site and keep getting the message that the feature is undergoing maintenance and will be up and running very soon. Lurkers, when can we expect this to be usable as cards have expired Feb 28.

I know some people feel comfortable having a physical card, but if you have a mobile device you can use the SPG app to show your card.

This thread may also be of help: Create / design your own SPG member card in 2014?

Should be soon; however, I don't have a firm date yet so when SPG is ready I'm sure they'll get the word out.

I got the option to design a card and save to desktop/app or print.
I did not see an option to have it sent to me.

Look at the bottom. There is an option to have them send you one, but they pick the design for you if you select that option.

I missed that bottom, 'designed' the card by myself, and then couldn't get back to the first page with the "send me the card option".

Now had to go through the normal SPG site to request a physical card.

So after all that waiting, we get a predesigned card that will arrive in about 10-12 weeks (outside the U.S.)...

Whenever I checked spg.com this year, I had the option to get a new card with the same design I chose last year. Today I can design and print my card and/or let SPG choose the design and send it to me.

I believe most people in this thread, myself included would like to design our own card and have it sent to us.

If this will not be an option this year, I expect a Lurker will let us know.
