So it appears that my status in the new
Starwood program would be with Sheraton, not Westin since it seems my Westin points have been transferred.

I wished I was asked what chain I wanted to be with (it would be Westin, since I tend to stay with them MORE!)

Thanks Pgupta011 for clarifying what's going on.

I'll wait for Starwood's answer on my confusing question before whining any further. Sorry to give you all a headache
but TWO hotel chains stand the risk of losing my business. CATMAN
