Can't wait!
Wondering should I hold prepaid booking as not to use the wrong credit card?

Well, my crystal ball says one of the options will be picking your own timeframe - if that's what it sounds like, that's a big, overwhelming option to go along with no opt out. I'll reserve judgement until the details are announced.

I do think many of the options will be underwhelming but the flexibility is wonderful.

^ to no opt-outs. I hope I don't have to sign up to facebook or twitter to get the full benefits of this promo though.

This better be good if they're allowing for 21 days of nothing but speculation and for expectations to keep going up. Just saying.

I'll be happy to +1 SPG on Google Plus. Seriously, I am following SPG on Google +, but they haven't made any entries yet? All my other hotel and airline partners are active on Google+. Facebook is for kids (IMHO!).
