FWIW, I've been trying since July 18th to get someone to confirm whether or not SPG50 can be booked at either of these hotels. I was able to find the active rate plan, but had no anecdotal or empirical evidence I could offer...until now I guess.
Still, before I sign off on it officially, I'd sure like to hear from someone in an official capacity.
