Any way to get someone with platinum status make the reservation for me with my points. I'm only spg gold but want to guarantee the upgrade? How could it work?
Even platinum can't guarantee an upgrade.
a plat with a suite night-upgrade certificate can be guaranteed and pre-reserved.
If I book a points stay for a standard room, and I have an SPG Amex Business card, will I get free club lounge access? Or is the club access only on paid stays? Specifically for Tel Aviv Sheraton. Thanks.
you are entitled to club lounge access
Anyone here know if that includes a room on the club floor, or a standard room with access to the club?
Someone with platinum status suggested that my friend book a room (which my friend is paying for) through the platinum Starwood account and then have them my friend's name to the reservation so that he would get the benefit of the platinum status at check-in. The SPG member would not be travelling with my friend but would add his name to the reservation. Has anyone ever done this? Does it work? Thanks.
it works but I would stay away from it at international hotels where they request passports as sometimes they will not pass over the benefits. But in the US you should be fine
Pm me if you can use my plantuim account please
I know from personal experience that the Sheraton in tlv is very strict on giving benefits if the platinum member doesn't actually check in
If I cancel a free night reservation how long does it take for the points to post back?
