Here's the

And I do see the value in using a travel agent to book these sort of rates.. the relationships can be quite important.. that all being said I'll look the rates up first on classictravel.com... i've found that the virtuoso rates tend to equal the best available refundable rate....

DavidO is doing a great job in the Luxury Hotel forum. Didn't want to take any fuel away from his fire, but figured it would be nice to have something similar over here. Plus, to me at least, links to Master Threads + a Q & A styled thread in the SPG forum is a huge plus - especially for those that don't venture over to the LH forum.
Also, you're correct: the LP program is similar (from a property standpoint), but not the same as the V list.
