This is not what most were asking for and if true will set up a new inequality. Many of us thought it was unfair that SOME SPG LTP were not being grandfathered into the new LTPP, specifically those with 750+ stays and enough years or points. If they were to include ALL SPG LTP the problem would shift to some Marriott LTG members being treated differently than those from SPG who stayed the same or more nights. Hopefully if there is a correction it won't be this, which would set up a new inequality, but only apply to the SPG LTP who are presently being treated differently than their MR counterparts.

MR Gold was always similar to SPG P50 except for the name, and MR Plat shared nothing but a metal name with SPG P50. P75 was what SPG called what Marriott called Plat. To treat Marriott Gold differently than SPG P50 is just as bad as what the program is planning to do now.
