They're telling my wife that breakfast isn't an option for Gold.
Advice? Anyone to call?

Tried a manager? Some of the clerks there aren't fully aware of the rules (I once had one tell me the wifi isn't included for plat, even though most of the clerks know and don't give an issue)

But it's not a listed benefit on SPG's site.

you keep on asking people to do this. These are all points reservations booked out of their account.
And he got it down to 60 nis.

First off, I am currently at home.

I'm going to shoot for Plat next year. W/ 3 open SPG cards, I'll need 19 stays. If I can sell enough to co-workers, and book a few for ourselves at the DS LM, then I may be good to go.

OT, if I reach 25 stays at the mid-year point next year, how long will my Plat status last?

I believe cutoff is 4/1, so if you make it on 3/31 it'll last until 2/2014, if you make it on 4/1 it'll last until 2/2015

So better to wait till after March so the status lasts for an extra year?

Cutoff is only for a challenge.
Qualify in 2013 legit, valid until 02/28/15.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.
