Wouldn't count on it lasting. The status is based on nights stayed, so if you don't have the required nights, the system will correct this. Of course, you could get lucky...

My SPG a/c was gold (via Amex) and my Marriott a/c was showing platinum yesterday, however both are now showing gold :(

When I log in via SPG, I am a Gold Elite, when I log in via Marriott I am Platinum Elite. I got gold status in SPG via Amex. I would not count on Platinum Elite status sticking around, its a temporary status until everything gets integrated. My lifetime Marriott nights is showing as 0 in...

The FT thread has turned into dummy spit and hissy fit, I can't say I'm surprised though when you have points collectors and frequent travellers who think the world revolves around them :rolleyes: Even a few people who are considering a class action :D

It's for the US card only Rocketmiles

The annual fee gets charged in the first billing cycle, and your 'mate' will be liable for the annual fee. No such thing as a free lunch...

My August Amex statement (at the very bottom of the last page) makes it quite clear, the new rate will be 3 Amex MR points = 2 Marriott rewards points.

Lets see, you want something for nothing? Don't like your chances. Unless you can convince the operator you're a valuable customer, they won't be giving you a waiver on the annual fee.

Excluding any sign up bonuses, Amex remains one of the most productive ways to earn FF miles. Yes the Visa/mastercard products out there also earn FF miles of various airlines but either have poor earning rates and/or have earning caps. Yes they have the advantage of wider acceptance, but Amex...

Yep now its 50,000 United miles one way in J to SE Asia compared with 30,000 miles some 12 months ago. Its now 25,000 miles one way to SE Asia in Y :confused:. 40,000 miles got you one-way in F too :( With the United devaluations, I decided to blow 140,000 miles flying JFK-BKK one-way in F on...

For Australian Amex holders, there aren't as many transfer partners as the US MR program, you can't compare the US vs the AUS MR program. Amex transfers to SPG were definitely one of the more lucrative users of MR, even more so when Marriott took over SPG. 180,000 MR = 90,000 SPG =270,000...

For US Amex users there is no change, but it's a different story for Australian Amex cardholders.

My Stayplus benefit now shows up in my account (created last Friday). Had a quick browse of Sydney hotels and looks like the Sofitel Darling Harbour is going to be difficult to book with availability pretty woeful (although helpfully they had availability for a stay tonight :rolleyes:)...

Most of my experiences have been self paywave, I did give mine to a bartender who didn't bat an eyelid, so he probably already encountered a few.

New member. When does the free night benefit kick in? When I tried a dummy booking it said I didn't have a stayplus benefit available.

Got both AFR and Accor+ this afternoon. Edited...

I think it was a necessary move on their behalf given the increase in annual fee. Some cardholders may not have been aware of the benefit and could justify the previous $1,200 annual fee, however with the fee now up to $1,450 that may have been the breaking point for some and the reminder of...

Me neither :(. They did say up to 10 working days, so I'll keep waiting

So I've received my metal card which I had created as a supplementary card under my name and the name shown on the card is: "xx_X A/C". For those with supplementary cards, is this the usual naming convention to have "A/C" at the end? Also I've added the supplementary card to my existing online...

I haven't received any confirmation/acknowledgement either. However on the enrolment page for the various hotel status programs, my accor plus enrolment is showing as pending but the AFR subscription still gives me the option to enrol (and not showing as pending despite already applying). I'll...
