New SPG website design, launched 15 Oct 2014
 

i think spg just relaunched their website, it looks a bit more web 2.0 now. :D

Just saw this too - it's nice! I just need to find where all the things I normally look at are now. :)

It's much more inline with the iPad app now.

As this is likely to be a popular thread over the next few days, I've added a wiki to summarise any comments and bug reports that may arise. Please feel free to contribute.

Bug
 

I am greeted as "MR./MRS. FLYER", but there's no access to set or modify my title in the profile. Not a good start. :(

Switching language
 

I'm accessing the new website from Germany (and it's in German). Where do I select different languages? Previously it was in the upper right corner, but now I can't find it anymore.

Not so excited about the new design so far (via laptop).

Oxon Flyer - You have to contact them to amend your title field I'm afraid...

Sorry, just found it. It's lower right corner now. :)

More friendly interface with smartphone/tablet but i love old style -_-'

Security flaw
 

My spg password contains both capital and lower case letters.

If I key in my password all in CAPITAL letters, it logs me in.
If I key in my password all in lower case letters, it logs me in.

Yikes. :eek:

what else could be added?
 

I am not a big fan, frankly. I also don't think the issues are bugs?
To begin with, the Mr./Mrs. thing is a bit of a turnoff! What if I was single?
I don't think smartphone access was the major reason for the switch? The fact is Starwood surveys its members more than most providers, so I presume the changes are driven by client feedback? (If so, I don't see it!).
Today, for example, I had difficulty finding my "YTD Stays" and my SPG account. For the record, here is what I would like to have seen:
- easier access to SPG reviews;
- better access to spghotescapes;
- hyperlink to contact the property.
What have I missed?

Very impressive feature

Trace back starpoint activity in my page up to 2011

Some elements from the old UI are still there e.g. when the system kicks you out, you see the old style login screen embedded inside the new layout.

The My Starpoints Activity listing now allows you to go back, in yearly increments, to the start of 2011.

I can't find my stays prior to logging in. A friend of mine who is not a member tried to look up a reservation and couldn't because he couldn't find the link where he would enter the conformation number and last name. I told him just google it and he found a Westin link for that.
