Agreed. And that language difference is significant (as you pointed out earlier). The combined program has itself a bit of a quandary given the large variation in proportions of suites. Do they anger the franchisees by "giving away" suites freely, or do they anger higher level elites (esp. legacy SPG elites) by trimming the suite upgrade benefits?
