I recently picked up the brilliant card. Does anyone know if you can double stack the initial $6,000 spend requirement with the current promotion of earning 10K points for $7000 spent?
While I was not a fan when SPG was acquired by Marriott, I’ve come around I have to admit. I’ve gotten good use out of the program recently. I get consistently upgraded in the breakfast benefit for elite. Platinum‘s isn’t bad at all in most places.
The 35K free night certificates can be very useful. recently used one of mine when the cash rates were $700 in Anaheim due to a conference taking place. I was staying for five nights. The first four nights were only $200 a night but totally different story on that fifth night. Really worked out well.
