It's clear to me that the Sampler / Hopper awards will be quite flexible in 2009 (although they cannot be extended beyond 2009).
I'm still not quite clear on what changes are allowed with the hotel part of the oldTravel Packages ordered before Jan. 15, 2009:
1. Upward change category - Never allowed? Allowed only in certain conditions?
2. Change in property (same category).
3. Change in dates (same property).
