Pros: Great way to get free hotel stays quickly at the best properties
Cons: None, if you pay your bill on time each month
The Bottom Line: Get the card for the free night program, not for the service from AmEx. Charge high ticket items and your stays at Starwood properties and you'll be staying free!

| rgfeal's Full Review: Sheraton Starpoints (American Express) |
I've been participating in the Starwood program with the AmEx card (formerly the Sheraton card) for 5 years. AmEx offers a promotion about two times a year (it is on now, from May-Sept): stay 5 nights, get 2 fridays free, stay 5 more nights, get 2 saturdays free. I use this promotion each time: I stay at reasonably priced hotels (in the $100 US range). You can even use a 50% off award and STILL have it count as a night toward the free nights! Then I cash in the free nights at the most expensive hotels in New York, Chicago, Madrid, and so on. The combo Gold Preferred Starwood frequent guest + the AmEx Starwood card is wonderful. I log onto the Starwood website every day: great contests, offers, and so on. If you like to travel first class but stay free, this program is for you!
