@K1's got it about right -- already requalified for plat but want to make sure I get the 75-night extra 4th point since my current project doesn't travel frequently.

If you're in Atlanta, you should be slapped... that JW is waay better

I would stay at an aloft before I stay at a four seasons, they have no loyalty program at all

My American citizen 8 month old is on tourist visa in India; current stay runs out on June 7. Flying outside the country is a risk we don’t want to take w/COVID.

They didn’t ask for payment and message popped up saying watch your text/email for next steps. Anything else I can do?
