SPG mattress run: CA
« on: December 01, 2016, 01:09:13 PM »
Hi everyone,

I'm 5 nights short of SPG platinum status and may need to do a mattress run (my first). I live in San Diego CA and any tips on where to go, how to book etc. would be much appreciated.

Thanks!
J

Know anyone in Detroit? There's a catergory 1 DTW airport hotel @ 2k points for weekends.
2 separate reservations for 1 night should work.

Philly has an option for catergory 2.

Is adding someone to the reservation and having them check in ever a problem?

I still need 5 nights. Anyone staying somewhere or have any great ideas? I opened a SPG cc this month but am not sure if the night will post before the end of the year (seems to take a month or so)

I don't believe so. I just looked back at an old one and had a statement close on the 24th-- nights didn't post until the 6th of the next month.

Like I posted in the other thread, I have three free suite nights ending on 12/31. Happy to book a room for someone, and use the nights, but you have to pay for your stay, the suite nights are free.

if you need that night to count for credit for 2016, then it will count, even if it posts late.

I've had a stay#25 as December 31, (New Years Eve) and it counted as the 25th stay of the year -- got me another year of plat, B"H!
