Just browsing some rates for the Sheraton Heathrow and see this :
And the rates are Hot Escapes : GBP58.40; Member rate : GBP52.56 (which is 10% off).
Is this :
1) A Hot Escapes program change so the member discount changes from 5% to 10%
2) A local property initiative
3) A mistake
?

We have checked with the relevant team and confirmed that the 10% discount offer is part of the EAME Winter Campaign which ends by end of February.

Again, finding some Hot Escape rates from this week's offerings already posted when searching the properties themselves. Just booked Four Pts YVR for just after Easter Weekend. Property was not listed in last week's dump.

We are excited to unveil SPG Hot Escapes. This program replaces Starpicks and Beat the Timer and features exclusive, limited time offers on future travel with a minimum of 20 percent savings on stays booked through the website, and SPG members will receive an additional five percent on top of these savings.
A few important things to know about SPG Hot Escapes:
• Savings start at 20% off
• SPG Members save even more (5% off the hot escapes rate)

"SPG members save 20% or more
Non-SPG members save 15% or more"
Has Hot Escspes been quietly devalued ?

checking back on spghotescapes.com
Logged on to spghotescapes at 06:00 EST today and there were 
3 hotels 
on the list! Last week there were 180 @ peak. Now, I am convinced that SPG refreshes this site every Wednesday and individual properties add to the site over the next three days. What is the point? Check back early and often!

That seems to be pretty standard; the SPG Hot Escapes website only lists select Hot Escapes deals, not all of them. I've had the same experience several times after switching the the main SPG website, and discovering unlisted hotels with Hot Escape offers.
