I sure hope so.
I will have 700+ nights combined by years end so will easily cross 750 in 2019.
LTG with SPG, no lifetime with MR because of points requirement (despite having more MR nights than SPG)
If they grandfather SPG LTG but do not provide a good path to LTP, what incentive do I have to keep SPG/MR as my first choice?
As an aside, first year as SPG Plat 75.....don't see it being much worth it after 50....yes extra points but apparently that's it. This "my 24" seems to be mismanaged at best (kinda like green choice).
