After Starwood changed their C&P program on March 5, I joined Marriott Rewards, and signed up for their Chase Visa credit card. It comes with a free night stay (CAT. 1-4) immediately upon approval; in subsequent years, the card holder receives a free night stay (CAT. 1-5). I booked my free night this Saturday night. Don't you think it would benefit SPG Amex to offer the same benefit to SPG members?
