Also, while it's nice the ECS has gotten suite upgrades for some when asked I don't think all the ECS have done that, as someone posted up thread they hadn't gotten a reply on something 3 days after an email to the ECS.

Just curious - genuine question. Are SPG's ambassadors for US-based elites only or are they int'l as well? I realize you might not know the answer & the question might be better asked in the SPG forum. If they are US only, then Marriott/SPG would be equivalent on that. Or perhaps Marriott is starting w/ US & will then roll-out to int'l.

FWIW - I don't think Marriott should have ever created the PP level since they weren't willing to do much to distinguish it from regular Plat. That's a total disservice to you & other PPs, and I've always felt that way. In the old days of PP there were more bennies than now, but they basically disappeared to you all now getting some small gift once/year & nothing else.

Cheers.
Of course SPG offers Ambassadors to ALL Plat100s, regardless of residence. It's a published benefit. IIRC it was international from the very beginning.
