SPG & 万豪常客合并最新进展：18年起SPG万豪白金可享受Hertz待遇，万豪终止会籍Buyback
2017-11-29
SPG和万豪的收购大战早已落下帷幕，但毕竟是两个庞大的常旅客计划，合并的难度非常大，需要万豪集团付出巨大的精力。不过随着时间的推移，新的合并的常旅客计划终将浮出水面，本帖就专门用来记录万豪宣布收购喜达屋之后的各项政策或是传言，按照时间线倒叙给大家梳理一下。
万豪今天宣布了一些18年两个会籍的一些变化，想必不少朋友已经收到了邮件。以下是Ritz-Carlton Rewards给我发的邮件：
PROGRAM UPDATES FOR 2018
The Ritz-Carlton Rewards?, Marriott Rewards?, and SPG? will remain separate programs. While we continue to work with SPG to create a combined program, you can continue booking at the properties you love and earning points like you have been doing. We want you to be the first to know as we make updates, so here are a few updates for 2018:
Introducing new Hertz benefits
It’s time to hit the open road! Beginning in early January, Platinum members can register to receive Hertz Gold Plus Rewards? Five Star? Status, and Platinum Premier members can register to receive Hertz Gold Plus Rewards? President’s Circle? Status. Learn more about these exclusive benefits including car upgrades, additional points and more.
Final year for Rollover Nights and status Buy Back
2017 is the last year members can earn Elite Rollover nights. This means any 2017 nights earned in excess of Elite requirements will roll over toward 2018 status, but excess nights earned in 2018 will not roll over toward 2019 status.

再一次确认了18年两个计划仍将独立运营，但是两个计划的共通之处是越来越多了：
SPG的终身会籍会员也享受积分永不过期政策（终身金卡需250晚&5年金卡，终身白金需500晚&10年白金）。
万豪的 Elite Rollover Nights & Buyback 将在18年终止。
Hertz 会籍福利：
万豪和SPG白金会籍可以享受Hertz Gold Plus Five Star会籍
万豪和SPG的100晚会员可以享受Hertz President’s Circle会籍
终止Buyback会籍对很多人来说估计鸭梨山大，照此推测新的会员计划应该Buyback也不会存在了，实打实住出来的白金才作数。Hertz会籍似乎President’s Club还算不错？是不是可以拿去别的租车行也各种match一番。但是100晚要求太高了啊。。。
总的来说这次变化不算太大，两个计划的共同点越来越多，象征着合并真的越来越近了啊！大家最关心的新信用卡依旧没消息，不过TPG说今年年底应该就会有更多官方消息！Stay tuned！
