The speculation is all around people trying to concoct their own ways of interpreting some very straightforward information. The statement is the announcement and the information on their website. You can also look at the comment by Ahmed the Starwood Lurker to see that with regards to SPG they don’t see LT as including 4 tiers.

Bingo. I think that it would be much more useful for people to provide feedback based on the facts which at the moment make it extremely clear that there is no LTPPE path for anyone that will be a member of the new program but wasn’t LTP in the legacy MR program.

This!
