I'll offer the same bet excluding my posts post-10k, or comparing my posts until I hit 2200. Any way you cut it, you're in a league of your own.
I really dont care what you say and who's right or wrong. my point is thers nothing wrong with what I do and I will continue even if people like you get very offended from it.
When cbs used to do it I dont recall you getting offended...

Along this same idea. I stayed at a SPG hotel and did not receive my Gold bonus points (250 points) for the stay. Spg says I have to call the Hotel directly.
What can I ask them to compensate for this mistake?

a free week. wow. thats amazing!

Yes, complained that the whirlpool hot tub was not working (even though its 80 degrees), they responded by offering that I come back for free for another week. I received a voucher for one free week in the mail. This was many years ago.

i've had that many times not getting my 500 points. each time i called spg and they did the work for me by calling the hotel. always tried but never got anything extra over it.

I don't care what you do, I was just pointing out an irony I found funny. The way you responded clears my conscience that it was at your expense :P

Now now, no need to take it so personally :P

no one wrote the lounge? i know there s one in ded sea, do they have them in all the hotels, bec there amazing drinks all day (instead of buying 5$ drink of beer or soda just get one from the lounge, and the 500 points is instead of breakfast a lot of times, and free internet is very good, these are all good on long trips (3/4 days type trips)

What lounge are you referring to at the Dead Sea? I'd love some free drinks while I'm there.

I chatted online with SPG, and they credited me.

i've gotten room upgrades to suites.
free valet parking when there was a charge.
free inroom movies.
free room service.
and best of all an upgrade to the greatest level. VIP!!
Do you have status with them? Any tips about how to ask? I'll be in 2 SPG properties in Thailand this week, and would love to milk them.

for a gold member they might give you the upgrade if its a special occasion. maybe call spg and ask them to call the hotel or even call direct to the hotel and let them know its a special occasion and ask for an upgrade. you never know!!

The trick is when you make a reservation over the phone, to get spg to call the hotel and request your upgrade/suite/free parking....

I assume that the slippers given for our use in LM are not meant to be taken home?
