Properties not honoring 50% off award
Tried to make a reservation at the W Silicon using the 50% of holiday gift I was given by the nice folks at *wood.
SORRY the W is not honoring that promotion this year Mr. dontsaystewardess. But, you can get 50% off at the Westin = $10.00 less than the web rate at the W. Such a deal.
Merry xmas!!

Have you tried reading the fine print on these Holiday SPG50's? Purple background with tiny orange lettering with poor color separation/registration. You probably need a UV Blacklight and a magnifying glass to bring out the text to where you can read it. Looks like one of those "find the hidden message things" they have in comic books and on cereal boxes.

Maybe a new Platinum amenity could be a "T&C decoder ring" ... ?
