I like the properties where I'm staying; and I still get points, upgrades (good success percentages at the properties where I will be staying), bonus points for PLT and bonus points for Starwood AMEX usage (although I will likely try to use MC for obvious reasons). I understand that the MC bonus is only for AP; but I still find excluding an entire region from a quarterly promotion to be disappointing.
well said....i'll probably end up with anywhere between 15-20 nights in spg hotels by mid march....i'm disappointed that the apac promo will only be restricted to 2 free nights....i can't seem to remember the last time where there was a earning restriction for a quarterly spg promo....

having said that, my stay pattern will not change....just like dr. hfh, i like the properties i will be staying at & will continue to do so....
