My guess is that they will come up w/ a transfer bonus for airlines of 10-30% now that the rush to turn *pts to AA MM RDM is now over.

According to someone at a hotel, the Q1 promo will start on 1/9 and feature double points for a 2 night stay or triple points for a 3+ night stay.
No idea the accuracy, but given it's close to the date and the level of specificity, I'm inclined to believe it

Sounds credible enough. If that is the case, then it is kinda boring. *yawn*

The album wasn't a promo. It was a year end gift (and I loved it). Just didn't love the part where I couldn't make a second book that I would buy for myself from Shutterfly. Poor use of marketing on Shutterfly's part.

Whatever you want to call it (I still consider it a promo because it exists solely to promote the person staying at the chain), the fact remains that nothing will please more than about 80% of the membership.

All SPG hotel managers will have their salaries cut by 50%, and resulting savings converted into drink coupons for all PLT members on a per stay basis... as long as the PLT members are over 21 and vote before November 12 th.
