Dropping to Category 3 07 March 2017 :)
in case others missed it (surprised this news hasn't made it to this thread yet)...
CY ST drops to a Cat 3 on March 7th.
I've been considering this property anyway as a change of pace when in HKG. Now, it definitely represents value for points esp. with lounge access as Plat. I'll look forward to giving it a try on my next short stay in HKG.
