Please explain the basis for only matching Marriott Platinums (requiring 75 nights) to SPG Platinum 25 Stay Status rather than SPG Platinum 50 Night Status. How is it fair to deny Marriott Platinums the ability to use SPG Suite Night Awards given that Marriott Platinum requires 25 more nights than SPG Platinum 50 Night Status?

You can unlock a world of opportunities by linking your Marriott Rewards or Ritz Carlton Rewards account with your SPG account. Think new destinations, like Santorini to Bora Bora. Exciting ways to use your points, like luxury shopping. And you’ll instantly enjoy two new advantages:
-
Elite status match
-
Points transfers between the programs
To see full details and link your accounts (or enroll if you’re not already a member), visit
members.marriott.com.
And rest assured, nothing changes with your Marriott Rewards or Ritz-Carlton Rewards account. Your benefits, elite status and existing reservations remain the same. And you can book, stay, earn and redeem just as usual. We still don’t anticipate launching a newly combined program until 2018.
We’re excited for you! And we’re here to help answer any questions that you have regarding today’s news. Here’s to a new beginning – together.
