Terrible news for SPG members, frankly!
Wow... I am not much of an SPG girl, but I've had some truly great experiences with them, even without top level status. My upgrades with SPG have been far better than I've ever gotten with Marriott Platinum. I do think Marriott is a much better "fit" than some of the others that were interested, but I agree that it's not going to be pretty for loyal SPG folks. Maybe Hyatt will finally start offering matches/challenges again ;-)
