Hi all, I think I know the answer to this already, but do you have to stay at a Starwood hotel in the Asia-Pacific region in order to get the upgrade to SPG Gold status with Altitude Black? That's what the website says, but seems a little odd that it would be restricted to that region only.
The reason I ask is, I've yet to achieve the upgrade, and I'm staying at a Sheraton in the US later this week. I have a choice of paying with my Altitude Black MC and getting 3 pts per $, or Citi Selectand getting 5 pts per $. Obviously the latter wins, unless this stay would get me SPG Gold status if I pay with the Black MC.
