I had over 150K SPG points which were apparently cashed out for Amazon gift cards and mailed to an address in Illinois. Sending an email to SPG now hopefulyy they can clear this out soon.
Wondeirng if this has happened to anyone else recently as it would mean theres been some kind of breach?
I got one of these emails today after making a reservation but not going near my profile. I didn't see any changes to my profile, I called, and the Plat Concierge couldn't see any changes either. He had me do the experiment of logging out and logging in fresh to look for changes. His impression was that some glitch is causing the "you've made an update to your SPG account" email to be sent when it should not be. Since it tells you to call immediately if you have not made any changes to your profile, that's what I did.
