MAR down 5% in post-market trading. That means Marriot's mostly-stock offer is less valuable, and I wonder if they can decrease it now.

From SPG:

In fact, we don’t anticipate launching a newly combined program until 2018. This means SPG will continue to run separately until then. In the meantime, we’re actively exploring ways to build bridges between the two programs to further enhance your experience

Marriott App Update Suggests You’ll Be Able to Link Your SPG Account Soon
"I wouldn’t expect that you’ll have the ability to transfer points between programs, for example, but this appears to be a first step to combining your two accounts once Marriott does decide to flip the switch."
