I like hats.
SPG Amex is a highly rated card. Starwood has properties on Disney Property, the Swan and Dolphin. So, I get myself a business AND personal SPG Amex. 25k pts. each after a 5k spend in the first three months.
So, I call down there to the hotel to ask if it's worth my getting a platinum amex (I was offered a 100k pts targeted signup offer). The platinum amex automatically boots you up to Gold SPG status. Apparently, they'll upgrade your room (Slightly) if your gold (free with amex platinum).. After hearing all this, the lady just happens to mention that they have this daily resort fee. Really? Resorts owned by Disney don't do that. In fact, they roll in airport transportation and resort usage. The only benefit to being an SPG is that they'll give you the highest level of resort usage for the fee. Really? No thanks.
She asked me if she helped me. I said yes, but that I didn't like the resort fee thing because Disney doesn't do it. The lady told me they have a resort fee so guests don't have to pay it if they don't use it. (They have different levels.) Really??
I am kind of angry at myself, because I feel as if I wasted my time with Amex SPG cards. Sigh. I need coffee.
