Thanks...that's indeed what they must mean. I really wish they were clearer in their communications. So the non-staying F&B spend has a different scale for both earning and burning of points, even though they are accumulated in the same programme and not segregated in your account. Yes, this is a nice to have but has no value to me personally.
Overall the upcoming changes (what we know so far) are an improvement, although a far cry from being 'ground-breaking' as Accor calls it. I'm at around 20k status points and will end up around 22k. As many here have stated I wish the Diamond benefits would be more substantial as right now I feel no incentive to rack up the remaining 4000 points.
