I wasn't being defensive in my post. I was pointing out that now that I've started reading the SPG forum more regularly, the grass isn't 100% green, no matter how much some SPG elites (not just you) would like to make it be. And given I was referencing what the
Lurkers posted, I'm not sure how my comment could be defined as defensive, unless you're saying the Lurkers are as well.
I also think that if you have specific recommendations on how the merged program should be in 2018, that you direct them to your contacts at SPG. That would probably have more direct input than the usual "I wish" threads in the various hotel programs that crop up periodically on FT.

MR Platinum Premier doesn't give any guarantee of suite upgrades. SPG Platinum 25 does...even if it isn't applied as perfectly as SPG claims. No matter how you look at it, SPG Plat 25 entry level is STILL better in that regard than MR Plat Premier. Anyone who disagrees with that simple fact is ignoring the facts. It's just that simple. That is all that I shared a bit earlier...and that caused your reaction.
