In the US, it looks like after Aug 1, AMEX SPG is going 2 points/dollar.
I believe the US cards are going to 6 Marriott points/dollar, equivalent to 2 SPG/dollar. I could be wrong, but don't think that you'll be able to earn any SPG points once the programs merge anymore.
I have both the Canadian and US SPG Amex cards. I received a letter on the US card informing me of the changes, but nothing yet on the Canadian card. Has anyone received any actual communication from Amex Canada on this? Of course, I'm expecting changes (particularly given the CAD-USD FX rate), but just curious as to what they will be an if any elite qualifying nights will be added to the card.
