SPG Points/Upgrades???

[disneyagain]

How many points per night to upgrade at the Swan from regular room to the club level? Is it 1,000???

If I have a discounted room, am I eligible for the points upgrade? Or do I have to pay rack rate?

I'm considering applying for the AE card to get more points...I'm just shy of the 5,000 that I think I need..Will my 4,000 point bonus for my 1st purchase be there in time to use on 12/9/04???

So many questions, so little time

Based on my trip (summer before last) it was 1000 per night for upgrade to club level. I dont know what kind of discount you have but we had booked the teacher rate and used it then. Somethings may have changed since then so I would ask SPG, but realize that sometimes it's hard to get a accurate answer from them! I have found that you can get different answers depending on who you speak with. I know I was frustrated with it then, and when I called the Swan direct they referred me back to SPG program for answers.
You can only use points upgrade 5 days or less from arrival.

As far as your AE goes that will be a close one. Depends on when you get it and when your first billing cycle closes. Sometimes it can take a few extra days for bonus points to be posted. My billing cycle closes on the 15th of the month and my points usually show up in my SPG account around the 18th or so. Sometimes the bonus ponts will be a few days (or weeks) later though!

Hope it works out for you & have a great trip!!!

I looked at the Application and it said that it takes 8-12 weeks to post the 4000 bonus. So that's out, I keep hoping for another survey or something that will kick me up 250 - 500 pts.

I may just apply and save the points for next time...I'm sure there will be one of those!

We still haven't told the kids were going yet...We've been many times with them, so our goal this time is to get them from school on 12/8 and head to the airport without them knowing a thing...I'm not good at secrets, I hope I can do it! My DS(11) is such a know-it-all....He'll be mad (a good mad) that we were able to keep it from him (hee, hee, hee!)
