HKG being one. I have complained to several properties about this. If you're going to have a SPG Plat/Gold line, ENFORCE it.
But I agree with others about the uselessness of that.
Plus, it still boggles my mind why Golds are even allowed in that line. I'll just stop there.
Plus, perhaps this program shows that SPG occupancy is down in Canada? (relatively?) Maybe they want to go after the same market that Fairmont is going after.
