Knowing your level of attention to detail on matters such as this, what do expect to gain from having the IC Plat status? I've had one for years now and find it useless for anyhing other than collecting points for free nights.

The scheme is a bit funny in the fact that actual IC hotels do not recongnise PC Plat status - only "Ambassador" (which is $100 per year) or "Royal Ambassador" which is allegedly invite only but guararntees a suite at time of booking - again ONLY at actual IC hotels (and not CP,s HI's etc etc)

Room upgrades have been VERY hit or miss for me (I gave up argueing at check in a long time ago). My best ever was while staying in the CP at Schipol for two nights on rewards - got a club room with lounge access and free mini bar!

You must keep us informed of your experiences using this "status"

Regards

John

Ahh, I think I was in sarcasm mode - HI and HIX, are my usual haunts of course. AmEx seem to think its replacement for SPG Plat, I beg to differ.

Thanks,

Of course, how silly of me.
