True but the points are worth less. I believe that was his point.

Hilton points are worth less than Marriott the same way that a head shot and a shot to the heart will kill you, just one slightly slower than the other.

Are you referring to the Marriott devaluations that occur almost every year?

I just hope they don't get rid of the "Take a Spin to Win" game.

Another body blow to AMEX eventually I'd suppose.   If I were Delta, I would feel pretty strong at the negotiating table right about now.  :)

I just got my 50th SPG night last week.  Bittersweet.

Another thing to consider is Marriotts black out date policy. If spg adopts their policies with regard to that, it would be quite bad.

Bloomberg is interviewing TPG about the implications this will have in terms of points. Airing shortly on radio.
