After upgrading my card to SPG Luxury about 2 months ago within 30 days of paying my 95 dollar annual fee on my SPG card I was not chardged with AF until yesterday. On my statement they charged me only 375 for renewal membership fee  but deducted 79 dollars (prob pro rated from my previous af). I dont know where they got these numbers from but i guess its better than paying  450 minus 95.

Also for my free night for my previous spg card they gave me the up to 50k free night (instead of 35k). Its been a hard process for the spg/marriot combination and new credit cards.

Not sure if this was mentioned but in an email I got from them to upgrade my card, it says AU also gets global entry credit…
Is this confirmed?
