MAR has always honored the category rate before rate increase. If you booked before March 5th & category was lower, then it will be honored at the lower rate. They need to do it manually, but it's not a problem. Never has been. Don't expect it to be now.

continuing incredible deal after SPG point conversion, currently seems peak 100k hasnt been loaded yet

(now 85k and 100k peak - Romazzino / Pitrizza / Cala Di Volpe - peak cost was previously 140k SPG)

seems only one change >

St. Regis Residence Club, Aspen – no Points redemption

still says category 8 there, presumably just not updated yet
very high rates on paid calendar, likely little in inventory
I literally have no idea what all the above is about. Seriously.

Cheers.
