Starwood Preferred Guest - Season's Greetings from Starwood, Happy 10th anniversary

Today I got electronic Season's Greetings message from Starwood.

they mention that next year will mark the SPG 10th anniversary and there is LOTS OF CELEBRATION TO LOOK FORWARD TOO. starting from nights after nights promotion on Jan. 07. 2009

well, Happy anniversary SPG, my royalty is assured for 2009 and beyond :)^

KSA I got the email too. I thought it was a nice touch and I look forward to the new Nights promo.

I can't believe SPG is only 10 years old. That's a very short lifespan and I could swear it has been much longer since the Westin Premier and Sheraton Club International programs were merged. But checking my "archive" I see I still have a Premier Gold card expiring at the end of August 1992 and a Sheraton Gold expiring at the end of July 1996.
