Last week I wrote again about the Starwood Amex Offer where you can receive a $60 statement credit with a $300 or more transaction at a Starwood hotel. This is an amazing offer to save money at ANY Starwood hotel within the US (including US Territories). The best thing about this offer is that all…

Starting in August, Marriott is introducing new status levels. There will be 5 different status levels available. In the current Marriott program, Platinum Elite is the highest status, but they are now introducing a higher level Platinum Premier status. Before 2018 ends, many people (myself included) are trying to chase lifetime status. This is because…
Knowing how many nights, points, and years of status in both the Marriott and Starwood program is crucial. As you probably already know by now, Marriott and Starwood are fully combining their programs in August 2018 and is being extremely generous in honoring lifetime status for both current Marriott and Starwood programs. While they are…
Earlier this week I wrote about another new way to earn Marriott Platinum Premier Lifetime status. Originally this status was only going to be granted to those who have earned Marriott Platinum status for life, but they also added a way for Starwood loyalist to be upgraded to this status – those with 750 nights…
Back in April I wrote about the future of Marriott and Starwood and more specifically about earning yearly and lifetime status with the program. Marriott’s initial communication on earning lifetime status was actually pretty generous. Both those who have earned lifetime status with Marriott and Starwood would have their status in tact and you’d even be…
