The value of the *Wood points is quietly going down. Less and less rooms are being made available for free nights and more rooms and suites are being excluded from the upgrade pool. While the terms and conditions do not reflect this, they are getting updated as more complaints are made. In addition, promos targeted at some customers rather than the hotels, such as spend $4,500 for 3 upgrades or 3 weekend nights are turning off many SPG loyalists.
