Hello from Japan! I am currently heading back to the US to visit my family, but wanted to give you a quick heads up that Marriott & Starwood hotels have just finalized their merger.
With two huge hotel rewards program to combine, it will take a while before everything is finalized. However, you can now link both your hotel reward accounts. If you are an elite member you will be automatically upgraded to the highest elite level status between both accounts.
You can link your accounts here:
What makes it interestingly is that Starwood Gold status is matched with Marriott Gold Status. Since all US American Express platinum card holders receive complimentary SPG gold status, you can link your Marriott Rewards card and instantly upgrade your Marriott account to Gold status.
As my flight is about to depart, I’ll dive more into this later, but I’d highly recommend you link your account now.
