I gave Marriott a very hard time over the weekend for announcing that hundreds of properties would be going up in rewards category, requiring more points, on March 8 — but not telling us which ones.
Loyalty Traveler reports that Marriott has made good and announced which properties will be moving up (and which will be moving down). He’s got the full list.
Making these details available less than a week before the price changes doesn’t really satisfy me, but it’s still huge progress, in the recent past Marriott hasn’t announced which hotels would change categories in advance at all. Let’s hope they keep this precedent, and provide more notice going forward as well.
Devalue your program and a day later send me an email asking me to vote Marriott in the Frequent Traveller Awards. Not good timing.
Did you know that Priority Club raised their “Anywhere Hotel AMEX cards” redemption up like 33% more?
For example, the $250.00 card was 59,000 PC points. Now it’s 77,000 PC points. What a waste of points at that level.
