Hi guys!
Ive always been a big W fan but only just this year signed up to SPG programme and have a few questions:
1.) i think it is pretty obvious, but to qualify Gold, in one calendar year (which i take is Jan 2012-Dec 2012) have to do 10 stays or 25 nights?
I can't find what determines a "stay" but I'm guessing it is min one night and anything consecutive and at the same hotel is still part of the same stay? Im staying at the westin for one night then switching to 4 points for another two. Im guessing that counts as two stays?
2.) It seems to me Gold status doesn't really offer a great deal more than joe bloggs status... but that the points are more useful for upgrades and whatnots?
Thanks!
