2018 SPG Category Changes (eff 6 Mar) & Booking Window Changes

Our annual category changes will go into effect March 6, 2018. We are sharing these changes today to give members time to plan their redemption travel and decide if they’d like to redeem their points prior to — or after — the changes take place.

This year, 276 hotels are changing categories, representing 17% of hotels participating in the SPG program. Approximately 9% are moving down one category and 8% are moving up one category

View the full list of category changes here.

Please note that category adjustments are always subject to change. While we make every attempt to provide you the latest and most accurate information, adjustments may be made at any time.

See the Marriott Rewards category changes here.

Additionally, beginning February 11th, to closer align with Marriott’s booking policies, SPG will adjust its booking window. New reservations at SPG hotels (paid + redemption) will only be available for 350 days in advance (vs. up to 550 days). Existing reservations beyond 350 days, will not be affected and can be viewed or modified on spg.com or by contacting the SPG customer contact center.

We look forward to helping answer any questions. Thank you.
