Would I expect the same "nothing" at the JW, or is there anything I might receive there like lounge access or an upgrade to a nicer room? If so, we will switch from the Ritz to the JW.
Why haven't you linked your SPG and Marriot accounts, then you will be PLT with Marriot and get PLT benefits at JW. RC work on their own rules when it comes loyal program.
