Welcome to FT SleepDoc. I am sure there will be lost of posts summarizing, praising and complaining. You will hear it all here as FT people are not known for being quiet.
BTW "work" is a dirty 4 letter word and should never interfere with FT activities, unless it is absolutely necessary to support a travel habit.

My thoughts exactly! Why spend 30 minutes on a call when we'll see the details on FT within minutes!
My bet is Platinum Plus for 35-50 stays or 75-100 nights. Anyone know a $20 Starwood for next year's mileage runs?!

Sounds interesting.
To access audio from outside the US: is the toll free number an international toll free number?

It has to be positive news...
....obviously *wood wants to get FTers buzzing on the announcement, and clearly they are not trying to bury it, and by including FTers one would think from a PR perspective they think it will be well received by the FT community

I wonder if this has to do with the new promotion coming up in mid September!

Those who are able to attend the conference scheduled at an earlier timing would get the first hand news on this new program. You may send your questions to me either by PM/email. (Due to the time difference, I would be attending the first session.)
I would not be able to answer all at one shot. As for the details of the program, I believe some of the members would post them over here after the 1st session.
The official release from our end would be confirmed at a later date.

Hi BD,
I would have to make use of this opportunity to clarify that details of Q4 promo will only be announced September 16.
Therefore, I strongly encourage all not to confuse this program with the promo.

My guess is they will institute a tier above Platinum?
