SPG50 rate after merger?
This might be a discussed question but I found no clue.
What happens to the SPG50 rate? (1000 points for 50% off RACK rate up to 7 days) Although this is a rate not widely used but sometimes it is really a good deal. (The old SPG term says it's agent eligible so I successfully booked the rate with Citi Prestige 4th night free and ended up with about 3,000 Euros for 4 nights in an overwater villa at St Regis Bora Bora.)
Any updates? Or the rate is simply discontinued?

I would love to know as well, but unless there was a similar deal on the Marriott side, I would imagine it's gone.

Hoping it is still in existence as well. I would guess it might still be an option on the SPG side.

Darn, is there anyway to get something equivalent? I have an unused SPG50 certificate in my desk drawer.
