Moreover, there were at least a signicant number of IHG properties that were lowered, not the 1% compared to what Marriott lowered.
I also agree. I stayed at the Crowne Plaza the city for new yrs a month or so ago...I redeemed at 35k pts a night. Now it is 45k a night...whewwww...I am glad I got that vacation in before the point increase
Yes, Marriott did lower only a few properties...not sure what the reasoning behind that was....
