Starwood Preferred benefits at Swan?

[Lesley]

I just booked the Swan for the 17th to extend our WDW visit...and they asked if I was a Starwood preferred member. As of now, I'm not...but I know I've seen things about it here in the past. What benefits can I get and how do I become a member?


Thanks!

A complimentary upgrade if available. Room upgrades = balcony and/or Epcot view / MGM view rooms. One time I was able to upgrade to a jr. suite at the Swan - comped!

Lesley--just go to www.spg.com and you can sign up online. There's no charge.

I've been upgraded at every Westin/Sheraton I've stayed at--and to a balcony room with an Epcot view at the Dolphin! Doesn't cost anything and it might help. So it's a win win situation.

You also earn points for every dollar that you spend that qualify you for free nights at all westin and sheraton hotels plus you can use them for concierge access at applicable hotels. I think you currently received two points for every dollar that you spend.

You can also get a late checkout(4pm) if available. In most Starwood properties there are seperate SPG check-in lines(usually for Gold & Platinum members).

go ahead and join SPG. Its free and it does give you a chance for some additional benefits. You can join on-line but be sure to contact them and have them add this to your reservation and be sure to (nicely) remind them of this when you check in.

Have a great time!

I think I read that Swan and Dolphin will be part of the new MYW packages. If so. do you still get SPG points/benefeits?
