Strange...I am a gold member. I used the first link and got the response: "You are currently not eligible for this promotion" upon entering in my starwood number.

it's only luggage tags ( I understand it's from SPG but it's still only luggage tags)!

I had this email, offering me to design my own SPG (gold) card.

So instead of writing my address etc, I've put things like: Complimentary double upgrade, and so on.

Looks pretty professional, just got it in the mail.

I'm sure it might do the trick sometimes.

tell them that you have an amex plat.

have a number of an amex plat at hand, I was told that you can make up a number, just let the 5 first digits be plat or centurion ones.

it can be done via the live help on their site0

Got my tags in the mail today...nothing amazing about the tag, but comes with a really sturdy (metal) thingy that should never snap of your bags. Pretty nice.

Yup, I'm going to use the really nice metal hooks on better tags (AA million miler, CO Lifetime PC, Airtran Elite) that came with crappy hooks.
