Or will there be differing levels of points depending on property type?

So Spire elites can now look forward to 600 points that don't post while us mere Plats have to content ourselves with 400 points that don't post. Jealous!

It's funny that the video you have to watch to earn Priceless Experiences entries literally has "late check out" as one of the selling points.

Without the guarantee of late checkout I'll have to look for a different program. That was the one benefit I felt like was always safe from individual hotel interpretation. What a lousy thing to change.

Late checkout is still available to elite, and one of the Gold member benefits that is still left, just not on offer to club now. In theory it should mean more availability now, in theory....
