If you don’t have an American Express card, here is another great reason to apply, free breakfast and upgrades at Ritz Carlton hotels.  Mrs. Weeklyflyer is a big fan of any Ritz Carlton and it is not easy to get status upgrades at the Ritz.  So, I take advantage of any benefit I can get and use my Amex when I pay for stays at the Ritz Carlton to maximize the stay.

If you are interested in a Starwood Preferred American Express credit card you can see the details of the current bonus offer in my previous post through this link.

Bottom Line

The American Express rate clearly moves the price up by $75 per night. But it provides a $100 resort credit per night. In addition, it will provide an upgrade to a Deluxe room which goes for $60 more than the regular coastal view room not to mention breakfast every morning.  So net, this is a $85 benefit over using a standard rate, plus breakfast!
