This hobby has spoiled me into a love of luxury hotels and elite status perks thanks to both shortcuts to status and many amazing “free” stays I have enjoyed using hotel points. Things like free breakfast, room upgrades, and late checkout can be among the luxuries enjoyed by those with elite access. However, many of those perks can be bestowed upon you even without elite status when you book through the right partner programs. I’ve been surprised to find that this is not only applicable to overpriced luxury hotels but that you can sometimes score these perks at mid-tier properties (or at luxury properties with mid-tier prices when rates are reasonable). Standout values are possible on short stays and when room rates are low. This post compiles a list of many of these programs and their associated benefits. Don’t sleep on these hotel booking programs: we sometimes see extraordinary values emerge when room rates are low and in some cases the range of included properties is wider than you may expect.
What’s new?
This guide has been extensively updated for 2024 to include additional booking platforms (like Capital One Premier Collection, the Edit by Chase Travel, and Accor STEP), remove programs that have ended (like Chase Luxury Hotel Collection), and update programs that have changed / rebranded (like IHG Destined and the Renowned Hotels for Chase United cardmembers).
Credit card programs
American Express Fine Hotels & Resorts
Participating properties
This site lists all Fine Hotel & Resort (FHR) and The Hotel Collection (THC) properties. To look at just properties in the United States, you can start here. To narrow the search just to FHR properties, click the Fine Hotels + Resorts checkbox. To change to another country or continent, click “Update Filters”. If you’d prefer to search within a narrower region (such as a single state within the U.S.), start here and select the region of interest.
Benefits
- Daily breakfast for 2
- Guaranteed 4pm late check-out
- Complimentary Wi-Fi
- Unique property amenity (usually a $100 resort credit, food & beverage credit, or spa credit)
- Noon check-in when available
- Room upgrade upon arrival based on availability
- No minimum stay requirement
More info: Note that Fine Hotels & Resorts is a program available to Amex Platinum cardholders (including each of the consumer flavors as well as the Business Platinum card). Consumer Platinum cardholders (those with the consumer Amex Platinum, Schwab Platinum, or Morgan Stanley Platinum card) get a $200 credit per calendar year toward prepaid Fine Hotels & Resorts or The Hotel Collection bookings. Also noteworthy is that you can book up to three rooms with the included benefits. One of my favorite things about Fine Hotels & Resorts is that unlike traditional online travel agency programs, FHR bookings typically earn hotel points and elite credit (even on prepaid rates). Furthermore, I have often found that these bookings have also triggered associated Amex Offers when paying at checkout (though you won’t trigger Amex Offers on prepaid rates). Finally, note that while you need a Platinum card in order to book Fine Hotels & Resorts properties, terms indicate that you can pay with any Amex card at checkout.
I have long been a big fan of Amex Fine Hotels & Resorts. One key strength of Amex over many other similar programs is that Amex guarantees 4pm late checkout (whereas most other programs offer it based on availability).
Finally, based on my experience searching numerous cities, I find that Amex Fine Hotels & Resorts has access to far more properties on the whole than other credit card-based luxury hotel booking platforms.
Capital One Premier Collection
Participating properties
Properties vary by city (you must log in here to search), but it is notable that Capital One tends to partner with a significantly different collection of hotels than other credit card programs. The Premier Collection appears to be available in fewer cities and in places where it is available, the selection is often different than what you’ll find with other similar programs. Note that when you perform a search, results load slowly, so you may need to wait a minute for additional results to load in order to find eligible Premier Collection properties.
Benefits
- Earn 10X miles on hotels and 5X miles on vacation rentals booked through Capital One Travel
- Enjoy an experience credit worth up to $100 USD (or the local equivalent). Capital One notes that this can be redeemed on dining or spa services but goes on to note that “credit-eligible purchases are determined and vary by each property and are subject to availability.”
- Enjoy daily breakfast for two (hotels only)
- Enjoy complimentary Wi-Fi
- Receive additional premium benefits when available upon arrival, like early check-in, late checkout, a room upgrade (hotels only) and more.
More info: You’ll need a Capital One Venture X Rewards Card or Capital One Venture X Business card in order to book Premier Collection hotels. Keep in mind that Venture X cardholders can get up to $300 in statement credits annually for travel booked through Capital One Travel. Premier Collection bookings would qualify.
Note that those with a Capital One Venture Rewards card or Capital One Spark Miles card can alternatively access the “Lifestyle Collection“. Bookings through that channel include an experience credit worth up to $50, but Lifestyle Collection bookings do not guarantee complimentary breakfast.
“The Edit” by Chase Travel
Participating properties
Properties vary by city. You must log in to a qualifying Chase card account to search.
Benefits
- Room upgrade (if available at check-in)
- $100 property credit (includes dining, spa or other activities at the property)
- Daily breakfast for 2
- Early check-in/late check-out, if available
- Complimentary Wifi
- Note that some properties also include a Welcome Amenity or may also have other benefits
More info: Chase Sapphire Reserve and JPMorgan Reserve cardmembers are eligible for The Edit benefits. Note that Ritz-Carlton cardholders do not have access to The Edit.
Chase Renowned Hotels and Resorts for United® Cardmembers
Participating properties
You need to log in with a qualifying Chase United card to see the participating properties.
Benefits
Terms note that benefits can vary by property but generally include:
- Daily breakfast for 2
- $100 property credit (includes dining, spa or other activities at the property)
- Room upgrade at check-in, if available
- Early check-in/late check-out, if available
- Complimentary wifi
More info: Before launching “The Edit”, Chase formerly had a program called Chase Luxury Hotel Collection. That program went away with the launch of The Edit, but the old Luxury Hotel Collection website redirects to “Renowned Hotels and Resorts for United® Cardmembers”. Interestingly, this hotel collection lists very similar benefits to programs like Amex Fine Hotels & Resorts.
This program is only open to United Club℠ Infinite, United Club℠ Business, United Quest℠, United Presidential Plus℠ and United Presidential Plus℠ Business cardholders and you need to log in for access to see eligible properties and benefits.
Mastercard Travel & Lifestyle Services Luxury Hotels and Resorts
Participating properties
Varies by city.
Benefits
These vary (and are only available at participating properties, which are indicated with an icon in search results. Benefits at included properties are listed along with the rates). Typically, benefits are similar to the other programs in this list and include:
- Daily breakfast for two
- A special amenity valued at up to $100. This is highly variable and could be as small as $25 in some cases (check the rate details).
- A room upgrade (based on availability)
- Early check-in and late check-out (when available at select properties)
- No minimum stay required
More info: Note that Mastercard Travel & Lifestyle Services is the most variable value of any of the included programs and includes the widest range of properties. I’ve seen things like a Hyatt Regency available for $85 that included a $50 dining credit, but another property that was $136 through all other booking channels (with a $100 property credit and breakfast for 2) was $281 through Mastercard. You have to shop around. Also note that the Mastercard program appears to work with any Mastercard, even those with no annual fee.
Visa Infinite Hotels
Participating properties
Varies by city. You need to have a Visa Infinite card to search (you’ll need to enter the card number before being able to search properties).
Benefits
These vary but are similar to others in this list and typically include:
Visa Signature & Infinite:
- Best available rate guarantee
- Automatic room upgrade upon arrival, when available
- Complimentary in-room Wi-Fi, when available
- Complimentary breakfast for two
- $25 USD food or beverage credit
- VIP Guest status
- Late check-out upon request, when available
Visa Infinite (note that only select hotels offer this):
- Additional benefit like $100 spa, hotel, dining (which is really the $25 standard benefit + additional $75 dining credit), room, golf credit
More info: Watch out for properties that “include premium benefits” but which do not include a Visa Infinite benefit. When an “Infinite benefit” is included, you should see both an icon that looks like a plate with fork and knife and “premium benefits”. You’ll also find details of what is included on the individual property page. In a handful of recent searches, most properties only included the $25 food and beverage credit.
Public programs
Virtuoso
Participating properties
Varies by city but is typically very similar to Amex Fine Hotels & Resorts. Note that anyone can book via Virtuoso (no special credit card required), but you’ll need to book through a Virtuoso agent.
Benefits
Note that Virtuoso benefits are identical to Amex FHR benefits in general, though late checkout is subject to availability via Virtuoso (whereas Amex guarantees it).
- Daily breakfast for 2 guests per room
- Room upgrade (subject to availability)
- Early check-in (subject to availability)
- Late checkout (subject to availability)
- A special hotel amenity (usually a $100 property credit or other amenity valued at a minimum of $100)
- No minimum stay to receive benefits
Hotel Preferred Partner Programs
Note that most chains now offer Preferred Partner programs. We’ll continue to add more programs to this list. Of key importance is that almost all of these programs require booking through an affiliated agent. I have had positive experience booking through TravelZork as they have an easy online request form, excellent turnaround time, a secure online system for entering payment information, and they have been responsive to my questions and requests. Furthermore, they are able to book all of the preferred partner programs listed below and more. While Travel Zork has a particular expertise in Las Vegas, they are able to book worldwide through these programs. For that reason, we have decided to partner with TravelZork to provide a direct way for readers to access a preferred partner agent. See the booking request form at the following link (note that we will earn a commission if you use the form on our landing page to book travel):
Direct link to TravelZork Booking Request Page
Also note that these programs and their associated benefits typically require booking the best flexible rate. Special rates including member rates, corporate rates, AAA, etc, do not qualify. That is a little counter-intuitive: you won’t be able to access the room discount available to members of the loyalty program, though in many cases the benefits affiliated with these programs outweigh those discounts. One key strength of booking through these hotel programs is that you will earn hotel points and elite night credits and likely be prioritized for things like room upgrades.
Accor STEP
Participating Properties
Some properties in the following brands: Fairmont, Sofitel, Raffles, SO/, MGallery, Pullman, Mövenpick, Swissôtel, Rixos, SLS, and 21C. I am not aware of a published list of which specific hotels participate, so you’ll need to contact an affiliated advisor to check on individual properties.
Benefits
- Daily breakfast for two guests
- Room upgrade, subject to availability at check-in
- Early check-in and late check-out, subject to availability
- $100 (USD) property credit (benefit may vary)
- Welcome amenity
Four Seasons Preferred Partner
Participating properties
All Four Reasons properties participate.
Benefits
- Room upgrade (subject to availability)
- On-property benefits vary but can include complimentary breakfast and/or property credits
- Ability to stack Preferred Partner benefits with hotel promotions (like 3rd or 4th night free for example)
More info: Four Seasons offers the least concrete set of benefits of any of the included programs here. You’ll have to reach out to a Preferred Partner travel advisor to find out what is available at your chosen property, though since you will be getting the best available rate and can stack with promotional offers you see on the Four Seasons website (like 3rd or 4th night free in some cases), there’s often no reason not to reach out to advisor if you’ll be booking a Four Seasons anyway. Keep in mind though that many Four Seasons properties are also available via Amex Fine Hotels & Resorts and via Amex they come with guaranteed 4pm late checkout whereas late checkout is not a typical feature of the Preferred Partner program.
Hyatt Privé
Participating properties
One Mile at a Time has a full list of participating properties here.
In short, all Park Hyatt, Andaz, and Miraval properties participate. Select Grand Hyatt, Hyatt Centric, Hyatt Regency, Unbound Collection, Thompson, Alila, and Joie de Vivre properties participate (though it is quite a long list of these properties that do participate).
Benefits
Benefits vary somewhat by brand. For starters, there is no minimum stay to receive Prive benefits at Park Hyatt or Andaz, but other participating brands require a 2-night minimum.
Hyatt Prive benefits include:
- A $50 or $100 property credit per room per stay (this is always $100 at Park Hyatt hotels but can be either $50 or $100 at the other participating brands. It varies by individual property, so you’ll have to reach out to a Prive advisor to inquire about your preferred property)
- A one category room upgrade confirmed within 24 hours of booking (room-to-room or suite-to-suite) — based on availability at the time of booking
- Daily full breakfast for two in the hotel’s restaurant
- Early check-in (as early as 9AM) and late check-out (as late as 4PM), subject to availability
- A welcome gift and letter
- No minimum stay at Park Hyatt or Andaz, 2-night minimum at other participating brands
More info: I’ve written about my experience with Hyatt Privé and I would definitely look at booking via Privé any time cash rates are cheap at a participating property.
Hilton Impresario
Included properties
Most Waldorf Astoria, LXR, Conrad, NoMad and Signia by Hilton properties. Live Luxe Travel publishes the full list of properties and benefits here.
Benefits
Normally, the Hilton Impresario program includes the same benefits as most other preferred partner programs, including:
- Daily complimentary full breakfast for up to two people per room
- A complimentary room upgrade, subject to availability at check-in
- A $100 property credit once per stay
- Early check-in and late check-out, subject to availability
- Double Hilton Honors points (valid at select properties)
- No minimum stay to receive benefits
IHG Destined (formerly IHG Luxury & Lifestyle)
Participating properties
Qualifying properties across Six Senses, Regent, InterContinental, Vignette Collection, Kimpton, and Hotel Indigo (not all properties in these brands participate). Live and Let’s Fly has a list of properties sorted by region.
IHG Destined Benefits:
Includes Regent (all hotels globally), InterContinental (all hotels globally) and Kimpton (hotels outside the U.S.)
-
Early check-in / late check-out based on availability
-
Upgrade to next room category (subject to availability on arrival)
-
$100 property credit, per stay
-
Complimentary breakfast daily two guests in the hotel restaurant
-
Local welcome amenity
More info: Note that as of October 1, 2024, IHG has rebranded what was previously called IHG Lifestyle & Luxury (that program ends on 12/31/24) and simplified the program for bookings from January 6, 2025 onward. Whereas some properties previously featured a $50 credit and others a $100 credit, all participating properties now have the same benefits.
Marriott STARS
Participating properties
The nice thing about Marriott STARS is that several of the included brands do not otherwise recognize Marriott elite perks like free breakfast and suite upgrades, so these programs can be a great way to access those types of benefits on paid stays. All properties in the following brands participate in Marriott STARS:
- BVLGARI
- EDITION
- Luxury Collection
- Ritz-Carlton
- Ritz-Carlton Reserve
- St. Regis
Benefits
- Complimentary full or continental breakfast daily for up to two people per room
- Hotel credit valued at $100 (USD) once per stay
- Room upgrade (subject to availability at check-in)
- Complimentary basic Wi-Fi daily
- Personalized welcome amenity and note
- No minimum length of stay to receive benefits
Marriott Luminous
Participating properties
Select properties in the following brands participate (note that individual properties can opt out, so you’ll need to contact an advisor to find out if your chosen property participates):
- Autograph Collection
- JW Marriott
- Le Meridien
- Marriott
- Renaissance
- Tribute Portfolio
- W Hotels
- Westin
Benefits
- Complimentary daily breakfast for two people per room
- Early check-in & late check-out, subject to availability
- Complimentary room upgrade, subject to availability at check-in
- Local welcome amenity and note
- Complimentary basic Wi-Fi daily
- Only at select properties: Hotel credit valued at $100 once per stay
- No minimum length of stay required
Peninsula PenClub
Participating properties
All Peninsula hotels participate.
Benefits
- “Peninsula Time” – flexible 24-hour check-in and check-out times (the hotel will make a room available for you until your room is ready)
- Hotel-specific amenity (like a $100 hotel credit). This varies by hotel.
- Complimentary full daily breakfast for two
- Room upgrade, based on availability
- Welcome amenity
More info: I’m not positive that PenClub is based on the best available rate, but since many Peninsula hotels are also available via Fine Hotels & Resorts or Virtuoso, I imagine the rate should be the same through each program.
Shangri-La Luxury Circle
Participating properties
All Shangri-La and Kerry properties participate in the Luxury Circle program (but Traders and Hotel Jen properties do not).
Benefits
- Upgrade to the next room type category at the time of booking (subject to availability)
- Hotel credit of $100 USD (or 10% of average daily room rate, whichever is higher), per stay
- Complimentary full breakfast for two, including in-room dining
- Early check-in and late check-out, subject to availability
- Welcome amenity
- No walk policy
More info: This is actually one of the best preferred partner programs since it offers an upgrade at booking rather than based on availability and it gives you the option for in-room dining for your complimentary breakfast for two. I’d definitely look at this the next time a Shangri-La fits my needs.
Bottom line
These credit card and preferred partner programs offer most of the key benefits of elite status by simply booking your stay through the affiliated program or agent. That can be a great deal for those making paid stays who want to enjoy elite-like benefits such as full breakfast for two and access to early check-in or late check-out. One of my favorite things about these programs is that most of them require no minimum stay, making them a great way to get fantastic value on short stays. At times, my wife and I have even booked separate back-to-back 1 night stays (one in her name and one in mine) to double up on key benefits and save a bundle on a weekend away.

Doesn’t the photo of the Delano room resemble a padded cell? Not speaking from personal experience BTW
Nick: question for you. With these types of reservations, how and when is payment made? If I book using Travel Zork a Hyatt Prive reservation, I’m assuming I would pay Travel Zork up front? As opposed to making payment to the hotel? So that, in that example, I would want to use my Chase Sapphire Reserve card (I’m assuming that would code as 3x travel) as opposed to my Chase World of Hyatt card (9x points)?
No, you’ll pay at the hotel. You’ll have to provide a credit card number to TravelZork to guarantee the reservation same as you would booking through any platform, but it’s not a prepaid rate — you’ll settle the bill at the hotel.
Note that the World of Hyatt card doesn’t earn 9x at Hyatt — it earns 4x on Hyatt spend. They like to advertise it as 9x, but that’s including the 5x base points that every World of Hyatt member earns no matter how you pay for your stay. We list the bonus category correctly at 4x brand on our card page.
As to whether you’d rather earn 3x on the CSR or 4x on the WOH card, that’s a matter of personal preference that depends on how frequently you transfer to Hyatt and/or use Chase points to higher value. I’d probably use the Hyatt card, but YMMV as to what makes sense for you.
Thanks!
Exactly, the Hyatt Privé Reservation (all payments and deposits if applicable) are “run” by the property locally. We only “push” the credit card number (via secure link) to the property via Sabre (in most cases). The reservation will also show up in the Hyatt App if we have the WOH number when booking. You’ll see the reservation, and rate type as “Hyatt Privé.”
Visa infinite is currently offering just a $25 credit, so matching the mastercard program, at least at one property Conrad Bali.
Hey Nick – I think your article needs a correction. You write w/r/t the IHG “Luxury” deal that it “Includes Regent (all hotels globally), InterContinental (all hotels globally) and Kimpton (hotels outside the U.S.).” At least as it relates to InterContinental, this is incorrect. I spoke to a travel agent and he said that the InterContinental in Monterey, CA does not participate.
IHG has a scoring system for the IHG Luxury & Lifestyles Program. A hotel has to qualify. Most ICs and Kimptons do. I do not follow Regent closely.
Thank you, Nick, for the mention. TravelZork Travel really does strive to reply and inform as best we can with regard to numerous programs. We also have more flexibility with some of the programs. One of the advantages that agencies can have is leverage and negotiation with the various properties and programs. For instance, we can often get rates matched to the best available rate and also apply luxury benefits. Lots of factors are involved with bookings, but we try our best to provide a custom solution. Logically, there is not a lot of leverage for a single one-night stay in comparison to a multi-room longer length stay. Another common question from Hilton Elites (for Impresario) are upgrade chances, and we really try to provide a realistic assessment of the situation.
Nick, I’d like to conduct an initial search myself before I contact an agent. Is there a preferred way to search through the hotel-based systems for a rough guide to their rates? Can I presume that each of those systems (Hyatt Prive, for instance) will book a room at the lowest standard rate that I can find available online for the hotel for a specific stay, for instance?
Yes, they almost always book into the lowest “standard” rate — not a “member” rate or prepaid rate, but the lowest rate under “standard rate”. With Hyatt, for instance, it’s always been whatever the standard rate says in my experience. Wouldn’t work with a member rate though. Also, you can not do a suite upgrade via points on a Prive booking (ordinary cash rates can be upgraded to a suite with X number of points, but you can’t do that on a Prive booking).
Listen up everyone: Nick has just done everyone a massive favor with this article. My wife and I spend seven figures a year on hotels. As a result, I have Hilton Gold, Hyatt Globalist, and Marriott Ambassador statuses. We’ve all seen it: elite status benefits are often unavailable, devalued, or elusive. Loyalty simply is not a two-way street. Loyalty to a hotel network does not translate to returned loyalty from the owner of a specific property. I have had a top-tier loyalty program CSR admit that owners of specific properties RESIST giving room upgrades. I’ve experienced this and it is at that point I realized it is all a game. On the other hand, we frequently use the AMEX FHR program. Elite status benefits even to someone new to the game — even at hotels with no loyalty program. Right at check-in, a property recognizes that you are an AMEX member and presents you will a list of benefits receive. The relationship with AMEX truly seems to mean something to the owner of a specific property. At the end of it all, I find little UNIQUE value in hotel loyalty programs. It is all rather sad. Save yourself the years of frustration that my wife and I have experienced. Book paid stays through one of the programs Nick mentions. View membership in the loyalty programs as solely about points — that’s it — forget about elite status benefits. Thanks for the article Nick.
Correction: six figures a year. Sorry.
Was thinking seven figures was a lot! I’m now Hyatt Globalist, Hilton Diamond, and Marriott Platinum, but I’m going to take your advice, and Nick’s, and start booking paid stays through Zork or some other travel agent. Thanks for the advice, much appreciated.
Dan and everyone else out there, if you use any online travel agency other than FHR and the like, understand what fees are being imposed. How does one suppose that a well-known hotel booking website can offer a 10 percent reward rate? If one looks at fees and taxes on the summary page just prior to finalizing a booking, one will note that the fees include a 10 percent charge (above what the taxes should be). Is this a property fee? Is this some other tax? No, it is the website charging you 10 percent that will be you reward. It’s a sham. Test this yourself. Do a booking of a hotel in Venice, Italy — any hotel. The hotel tax is about 10 Euros. Compare a booking of the FHR-type sites and then the OTA sites. Be aware and don’t be ripped off. Happy travels.
Do you get the privileges at Fine Hotels if you use Marriott Points but use your Amex Platinum card at reservation and for extras at the hotel? Has anybody ever tried this?
No, paying incidentals with your platinum card at the hotel isn’t going to do anything for you. You need to book through fine hotels and resorts to get the privileges. These deals are all for paid stays, not awards.
Been there, done that. To receive the AMEX FHR benefits, you need to book the reservation via AMEX Travel. But, to use points, you obviously need to book the reservation via Marriott. If you use your AMEX Platinum Card in the way that you say, you will receive no FHR benefits . . . and only 1X per dollar. You’d be better off using the Green Card, which would receive 3X per dollar on incidentals at the property.
Has anyone ever used multiple programs or had 2 people use the same program during the same stay? Ex: one person books the first night and the other books the 2nd? I’m sure this would be frowned upon but I’m curious how the property may handle it
My wife and I have done this with back-to-back Fine Hotels & Resorts bookings (one night in her name and one night in mine) quite a few times without issue.
[…] Getting Elite Hotel Experience Without Status: There’s no question that having elite status with certain hotels elevates the hotel experience. However getting status can be difficult. Can you experience the perks of elite status without having status? I’m glad you asked! […]
Is there any way to book through these programs with points? Seems like a Venture or Arrival+ type of thing might be the only way…
Travel expense “eraser” cards like the ones you mentioned along with the CSR’s $300 travel credit come to mind. Amex MR points work for FHR bookings at 1point/cent, which isn’t terrible if you have a ton of MR points. Anyone know of any other ways to book above options with points/miles?
Stupid question: what is an Impresario Agent? Is there a special phone number or promo code you use to book through the Hilton program?
It is a travel agent affiliated with the Hilton Impresario program. Each hotel program has criteria for travel agents to get those affiliations, so you need to find a travel agent who is affiliated with the program. Travel Zork is one or you can Google and find others. https://travelzork.com/travel/
Does anyone know how the Impresario double points stack with the triple point promo hotline has going on currently? Potentially very attractive if it does
They are supposed to “stack,” but that is about the most clarity I have received. For sure, Diamond Benefits stack (such as the $50 daily breakfast credit).
[…] I must admit I have never used any of these programs. Maybe it is because I always had plenty of hotel points and never wanted to pay for a room lol: Getting the elite experience without elite status via credit card & preferred partner hotel book…. […]
Hotel perks just don’t do a lot for me. Hilton’s gold status in the past was nice but breakfast isn’t much for me (water/tea/pastry). Late check out once in a while can come in handy. Mostly when I have a late flight, especially internationally.
Room upgrades are fine but nothing I value much. Maybe better for families.
Now airline upgrades are another story. I can’t imagine sitting in a regular coach seat internationally. My 2,000 mile trip in March (one way) on Southwest was about as far as I want to go unless I have an empty seat next to me.
I’m guessing most of the food/beverage credits aren’t worth much right now.
Using Chase points years ago we stayed at the Park Hyatt in Milan and they gave up 3 days of free breakfast. Breakfast was some outrageous price but while it was nice we won’t remember that at all.
Very helpful piece!
