Why wouldn't they just leave it at 10k/15k/20, which is their current award chart?That would make 3x pretty cool.
38,000 SPG points could now turn into 50,000 United miles, through connecting to Marriott.
Any downside to linking?
So basically until 2018 you would have to stay 50 spg nights to get platinum and Marriott nights will not count towards that.
I have two SPG accounts and a Marriott account as well. Is there any benefit to keeping the two SPG accounts for the time being or should I just go ahead and merge them?
Or spend $75k on the Chase Ritz in an aniversary year to get Pt.
It's worth noting that Marriott platinum isn't worth much, doesn't even come close to the spg platinum treatment. I guess they can change that, but I wouldn't count on it.
Does anyone here have experience merging two SPG accounts? Do they have to have the same email address or home address, etc? How do you know which one goes away and which one stays?
Not same email. Same address.
