Whilst a welcome development, it seems insane to only implement this in part of the world. It can only lead to ill will amongst people who do not fully understand the rules.
I wonder if this was partly driven by Ritz-Carlton joining Marriott Rewards (and also launching R-C Rewards)? I must admit that getting 30,000 Marriott points for a week at an R-C in 2010 was a major improvement on what I got for a week at Berchtesgaden last year! |

So the Venetian, Palazzo will still be 2,000 pts per stay?

Yes - forgot that one

I'm sure some will love this change. I normally do 1-2 day stays, where as an RA, I get 4k, plus the ambassador accelerator. So I'd probably lose out as my stays are in the $100-150 per night range. If they keep the 1k Amb and 1k RA bonuses, it might work out ok.

I have two or three multi-day stays coming up and with the double points promo plus this change I'm now considering changing the one points stay to a paid stay ... hmm. |
They are hearing us but slowly.

I'll stick with 2,000 points for my 35EUR nights in Warsaw, thanks :)
Seriously, come on IHG - make this a global thing. I've never understood why the ability to gets points for more than one room at a time also only applies to North America as well... |

There is no such a thing as "A" bonus - its platinum\gold bonus - and there is no reason for not to keeping it.

(...) Call me naive, but maybe they will change the earning scheme for the rest later in the year ... |
