Question:

I just upgraded to Gold since I have amex plat.

She said I get 50% bonus on starpoints, however it is only when purchasing a hotel stay from one of the SPG hotels.

The email I received states: "Three Starpoints® per eligible U.S. dollar spent, a 50% bonus over Preferred members"

the email seems like I would get 3 points per dollar spent no matter what.

Anyone know the deal?

I was just on the phone with them booking a night, and requested that they reinstate my gold status (after it expired in February), and she suggested to enroll me in the platinum challenge starting from May...
Lo and behold, I check my account online later today, and it says I'm a gold member... I guess YMMV :)
something like that with me as well, I was gold, expired in march and called a few times they said that they cant give it to me for free and I cant take the challenge for some reason  :(

Hi,
Just realized I'm pretty close to the 30k spend on my SPG to get gold status. Deciding if worth it to go for it today. Would returns in 2017 for purchases in 2016 count  against the $30k spend? I would think yes but figure doesnt hurt to ask.

Couldn't find a seemingly more appropriate place for this so...

I'm spg gold and was going to book a Sheraton via Priceline express deals. Will I be credited for my stay and receive the benefits of my status?

Apparently no, and no. Well that just sucks. Just a friendly bit of advice, never book the Sheraton JFK. Share that spot under the bridge with the homeless dude, it's cheaper and probably less ghetto.

This rep seemed far from interested in helping. When I went to check in I asked if the reservation was linked to my spg account to which she said it can't be when booked through a 3rd party. She even offered  to cancel it as a final "f" you

I already am gold so now when I spend 30K on both the SPG consumer and business cc doesn’t it extend my gold or credit stays to my account??

Does a points stay work?  Find any 4K. I really enjoyed the 4points Sheraton in eatontown
