This does not make sense. If the bonus is being increased to 50% for Platinums, that is still peanuts compared to what I will be paying for the 7 night vacation package. Also, all changes go into effect at the same time, which means that I will have to first cough up the extra points for the package before I can earn it via the extra 20% and that too if I become platinum. In the meantime, my current points earnings has been completely devalued.
I vote for making "No changes" to the current program and keeping it as is. I will be 100 times happier with that. If I wanted the changes what Marriott is making, I would go to Starwood. I don't need another Starwood here.
I hate to say, but I have to for this change.
