At first I logged into the Marriott app with my email, which only brought up my SPG details (i.e. points balance, reservations). I then logged into via browser and only saw my marriott details. I compared the two member numbers and they were different.

Wow all of a sudden simple Marriott properties that was 15K last week is showing now as 17.5K per night, bottom line we all lost big time on this merger.

I didn't think into this chart so much was just looking at the list of properties going up, how do we know when is peak or off peak at each property?

Because they said that SPG gold originating from Amex plat would not convert to Marriott plat. Don't expect the plat status to last past the weekend.

Did you try merging your accounts? Wonder what would happen afterwards

And now I'm seeing reports that only Platinum premier will match to United Silver... I took a screenshot of the current FAQs showing that Marriott Platinum will match to Silver.
