No, but I'm wondering if SPG has decided not to release the list in advance and/or delay the category changes.

There is not much need to make an early announcement if most hotels are going from a higher to a lower category. This is the exact opposite situation as last year. The only reason to rush and book is if you think the hotel will move up a category. Given the state of the economy and financial system, it does not look like the next year will be record setting as far as hotel REVPAR goes.

Maybe the title of this thread should be changed to say "ANSWER: ON March 2"
