I can, however, clarify exactly what [redacted] were told when they got to meet with SPG late last month. If it sounds contradictory, I can assure you that it isn't.

Hi,

I am not looking to bust chops here. I just think the entire paragraph is poorly worded because you are telling me that this doesn't apply to elites, but this paragraph says that the policy is inclusive of persons with LT elite status. Are LT elites not full elites as well?

An SPG Member is considered "Inactive" if during a 12 month period: (a) the SPG Member has not had an Eligible Stay at an SPG Participating Hotel; (b) the SPG Member has not earned or redeemed any Starpoints, or (c) the SPG Member's account has been cancelled.
Emphasis mine.
