  The page is telling me the double avios offer is for bookings made before 28th February, not 31st January.

    So it does, I worked off the email I was sent. Updated.

  Raffles, I noticed that today’s emails were sent at 6 – 6:30 – 7 am. Is that the new “timetable”? With regard to a recent reader’s suggestion?

    Yes, I’ve pushed it back 30 minutes. All 3 posts will now be up by 7am for those who leave earlier for work.

      Thanks Raffles. Good for those of us who start early.

  “If you are an American Express Platinum cardholder, remember that you can join The Club at the ‘Loved’ level. This gets you free breakfast for two people and (subject to availability) an upgrade and 4pm late check-out. The sign-up page is here. There are also ’3 for 2′ deals available at some properties for Platinum cardholders – that link has more details.”

  Raffles do we need to do anything to “upgrade” to this level. I am an existing SLH member but cannot see how the platinum amex upgrade will work ?

  Thank you

    Hmmmm … not sure if you can upgrade or not. You could open a new account at Loved level (via the link in my post) and then ring SLH to merge them.

      In case it helps anybody (and in reply to my own earlier question) I emailed SLH and they were happy to upgrade my account to reflect my platinum amex

  Hi,
  I’m going to the SLH TwinPalms in Phuket for my 10 year anniversary with my partner. We are staying in a basic room, do you have any advice on how I can get an upgrade? shall I email ahead? Any advice is much appreciated.

    Did you book via the SLH website? Even if you get yourself upgraded to ‘Loved’ level, benefits only apply if booked via SLH.

      Ah so is it better to upgrade your status with the Plat and then book direct with SLH rather than booking the SLH stay via Amex and getting the usual Plat benefits? I’ve certainly come across one occasion where the Amex rates were higher than the SLH rates and this would have been a good plan!

        Not necessarily, depends on the property. My comment was in response to someone who didn’t mention having a Plat.
