i had it once and they credited me the points right away when i spoke to them (a few years ago)


Thank you. Called them up based on your advise.
Initially the rep wanted to submit a case and asked I follow up in 2 billing cycles. which seemed absurd given that its been over 6 months now.
I requested to escalate to a manager, and I was told that she added the points, so will see as the account doesn't reflect it yet, but that might just be timing.

Anyone know if Sheraton lounge access will be honored for a booking made now for after 8/1?

I booked two international stays last winter. One was noncommittal re: the change in policy and what they could do. They other offered complimentary breakfast but not lounge access.

You reached out to the hotel?

Yes. I contacted the GM at each hotel.

I did try SPG for a retention bonus on my Biz card since they taking away some benefits, but it was a no-go. I need to try again.

Don't really use the card to be honest, nor have I used any of the Amex offers in quite a while.
I did not call retentions, so that def should be the first avenue to pursue.
TY

called retention twice and nothing.

Interesting as I called SPG and they told me there were no bonuses for adding AU to either the business or consumer Amex

+7.5k

I never got around to calling in for a manual credit. Now I wish I wouldn't have procrastinated so long.
