Starwood's top tier Platinum status requires 25 stays or 50 nights per calendar year,which is a fair threshold. That's particularly true if you occupy both the Starwood Preferred Guest® Credit Card from American Express and Starwood Preferred Guest Business Credit Card from American Express, since each card gets you two elite qualifying stays and five elite qualifying nights towards status annually. If you occupy both cards, or that means you only need 21 stays or 40 nights to reach Platinum status.
But I also commend Starwood for offering incremental perks beyond that,given how many people spend more than 50 nights per year on the road.
Specifically, after 75 elite qualifying nights in a calendar year you receive:-- Four Starpoints per dollar spent on SPG stays, and rather than three Starpoints per dollar spent
-- Your24,where you occupy the flexibility to choose your check-in time, and can stay for 24 hours (though it's subject to availability)The post Why I appreciate My Starwood Ambassador appeared first on One Mile at a Time.
