They are changing the upgrade policy from "best available room" to "best available room?".

And Paris Hilton's third cousin, Paris Sheraton, will be in charge of pay-per-view entertainment for Plats.

Don't PLTs already get triple points all the time? I don't get it. Anyone with 75 nights became PLT long ago.

PLT gets 1.5x points now, it is 3 times your dollar spent, so new benefit will give you 6 times your dollar spent.
