Starwood Preferred Guest - starwood coupons

I have only just joined the SPG program, am currently gold Hilton and Priority club. I was also a member of meredien, but have just redeemed a few stays and only have a 242 points left. I understand thet SPG is to take over meredien, so I have joined now. I have 3 questions and was hoping someone could help.

1. I have just booked the SPG Heathrow for 2 nights how long does it normally take for points to post?

2. Will my meredien points be transferred to SPG or will they just be lost?

3. I read earlier on the board that members sometimes get 50% off vouchers, and that they can be used by other SPG members who did not earn them. If this is true any idea how I could get hold of one? I also wanted to book a stay at the london belgravia and a voucher would be handy. I thought I read that you just PM someone and make an offer for the voucher. I know about the ebay thing, and would not go that route as it appears SPG do not like it.

Thanks

The SPG point post very quickly. No more than 4-5 days and usually in 2 days.

As for #2, Any update on Le Meridien/Starwood merger?
