If SPG benefits are minimized, then elite members will walk. Yes, it would be particularly bad for SPG LTP whose lifetime investment goes down the drain.
Even Marriott acknowledges the strength of SPG in attracting loyal members, I would expect Anbang to keep the status quo on SPG program for a few years.
