I stopped being an SPG whore when they jacked the categories up and completely screwed me on my Greece trip a year and a half ago. This is a fantastic development. ^ |

Interesting... I keep going back and forth between the W and the Park Hyatt in Seoul. Maybe this is a sign that I should just burn SPG points at the W...

I'm so switching from the Westin Paris to the Prince Des Galles to save 8K/night during the Honeymoon.

I could have sworn the list was changed. I saw W San Francisco going down to a 4, and then it disappeared :rolleyes: |

You should see what they have done with the food end of it. Hot egg on ciabatta breakfast sandwiches, pancake breakfast bowls, personal pizza, chicken fingers, Kona coffee. It's amazing compared to just a year ago. Do you edit what you shoot with an Avid, or is a system like that too highfalutin for affiliate TV? No offense intended but I've been out of the TV game for a while. Why did you have to mention what Wawa has done? Now I am thinking of taking a quick trip just to have a sample there. :( |

ETA: Now I notice the Le Méridien Piccadilly will be a Category 5 as of Mar 2, 2009. I am thinking I am going to try to stay there for the same amount of points I was going to spend before anyway. |
