If those are still available closer to my dates of travel, I'll probably change. (The Sheraton NY had Z3H for around $199/nt after discounts.)

I just looked up the weekend of the 14th June and I see a rate of $245 fully flexible (same as prepaid) and $220 with a corporate rate for the 4P. So again the SPG50 is not worth anything.
