Frequent Miler on the Air · Friday, July 10, 2026
A listener, Joaquin, successfully saved $200 on a hotel booking at the Andaz Miami Beach by monitoring prices and discovering the hotel was moved from Amex's The Hotel Collection to Fine Hotels & Resorts. This allowed him to rebook with additional benefits like included breakfast and a guaranteed late checkout.
“Yesterday, I decided to check the price of an upcoming stay. I had booked at the Andaz Miasmi Beach through Amex the Hotel Collection using the credit from my Amex Platinum card.”
“To my surprise, not only was the same room I had booked $200 less for the stay. But it also looks like the hotel is now part of Fine Hotels and Resorts instead of the Hotel Collection.”
“I canceled and rebooked and I'm super happy to have saved $200 and also getting breakfast included and guaranteed 4:00 PM checkout from the Fine Hotels and Resorts benefits.”
