Here is a little somthing platinum members should know, at some hotels (known to work at the sheraton edison till recently,although i have heard it no longer works) when checking in ask for platinum gift of free movie, they will credit your bill $11.95 plus tax about $2. just dont use the move and the credit stays on the bill. this it the equivilant of receiving $28 per 1000 starpoints. somthing to thimk about.
