News, Tips & Tricks
The annual Starwood Preferred Guest category changes are out. Every year around this time SPG has hotels shuffling around their free night award chart with hotels either moving up or down in categories. The thing to note here is that the Starpoint requirements for redemptions do not change but rather hotels may become more expensive or less expensive depending on which way they move in the categories. The announcement came on FlyerTalk earlier today stating that 250 hotels will be changing categories with 56% of those moving down a category (139 properties) and 44% (111 properties) moving up. Here in Canada we see the Four Points by Sheraton Kelowna Airport, Four Points by Sheraton Kingston and Four Points by Sheraton Toronto Airport move down in categories and only the Four Points by Sheraton Winnipeg International Airport moving up. The complete list of hotels changing can be found here.
A quick update to our Club Carlson devaluation post yesterday, it appears Club Carlson has made a further change albeit quietly in the time period of when you can book at the old redemption rates. As of yesterday that date was April 30 but that has now been changed to the same date as the rest of the program changes on March 15. If you need to redeem do so now for those hotels that are moving up! (HT Gary L)
