I like that name. "MPG". Sounds good. Not as good as SPG of course

I guess if they went that way they’d have kept the “Preferred” on the categories’ designations

Nothing prevents that from happening. I am expecting a whole re-branding thing to hit next year.

Maybe it'll be a shortened form of SPG + MR like S&M.

Any one check Marriott's, Starwood's or Ritz' trademark filings over the past year?

I got the Joke! Didn't you? It is Masochism.

Eponymous statement named for Leopold von Sacher-Masoch. Is that so hard to type?

Euphemistically, it doesn't necessarily have to be related to "the birds & the bees." Heaven forbid I should have to type s..!

How about "Mrs?"

Or "Ritzy MarStars"

Or simply "Star-rats" palindrome!

Or "THE LOYALIST"

Or "The thank you for spending more money than you needed to, we know loyalty is expensive and we love it, rewards program?"
