I just called they said they only have the 85K?
Is this still working for anyone…just tried twice and no luck!
Indeed still works. Gogo no longer included. Marriott Gold Elite status not SPG.
“Upgrade to Gold status in the Starwood Preferred Guest® program.” Is not this statement out of date?
Sounds like a swell offer. Do Dell GCs trigger the credit?
No, Dell gift cards don’t trigger the credit as far as I have found.
