Ditto here !!!
I have had 0 MR nights this year and 32 SPG nights so far. I earned Platinum the hard way and then had a status match with SPG last november (after Marriott came out with the wonderful Enhancements to the MR program). I really don't care much abt the Megabonus anymore. Starwood is offering huge bonuses (I get almost 2300 Points a night for a rate of 119$/Night due to all the Bonuses added up) and there are a tonne of nice hotels at SPG that start at 2000 to 3000 points per night. So in essence, I am getting 1 night free for every 1 night I stay. Now you can add all your Megabonus at Marriott and see where it gets you. Plus, I use my Reward stays on Weekends and that is where Marriott is screwing us with the Amenities cuts. I will not stay at Marriotts unless they come to their senses and understand that in tough times, they need to come up with more incentives to attract the scarce travelling population. The number of rooms is not changing and will be almost constant, but the number of travellers has come down drastically. Thus, everybody has more options and obviously I want my Dollar to reach the farthest. I will be more than glad to send my folios from my last 8 stays to whoever is interested and to prove my point that, somebody else did get my business from last november, since their changes came into effect.
