SPG Cash & Points question
« on: July 29, 2011, 12:30:20 PM »
If SPG.com shows no C&P availability, and the hotel tells me that they can't open up any, but there is regular award availability, is there any point in calling SPG direct to get them to open?

Thanks for your replies. I called them, and they contacted the hotel and told me that one night was a problem because it's a bank-holiday in France, so I took that night as a free night, and the rest of them as C&P.

So, what are the chances of getting upgraded as a Gold at the LM Nice?
