Merger update from "points guy" [Integrating SPG / Marriott Rewards]

Other option for SPG Gold (and now Marriott Gold) is to get the Amex Platinum card which includes SPG Gold as a perk (albeit with a high annual fee). You could also get the Ritz Carlton credit card to receive Marriott Gold (and thus SPG Gold) for a year, and then continually if you spend $10,000 per year on the card.

Charge $75K to the Ritz CC and get Plat...:banana:

I am one night stay away from getting SPG gold thanks to multiple night stays at Italy using starpoint this past summer. I think it will be easier to find a spg hotel to stay for 1 night to get gold spg status then get status match to Marriott
