Good to see they're doing the right thing and keeping us at Platinum till end of January as I have several stays booked at SPMarriott properties in the coming months. However, I'm bummed out about getting merely Gold in the new SPMarriott program as I really made use of the 4 PM and lounge/breakfast benefit at JW's & Marriotts. This makes it equally difficult for myself as an HHonours Gold (through 2020) since I'm more or less guaranteed Comp'd breakfast as a YourChoice reward (but don't have the guaranteed late check out). Pricing being equal and supposing I don't have a need for late checkout I'll probably opt for Hilton now to retain Gold status through 2021 (only need 20 nights @ Hilton to get the status supposing you are like me and ensure you never stay at the same Hilton twice
).
Safe Travels,
