This has been a enormous week when it comes to travel loyalty programs. First it was announced that Marriott would be taking over Starwood,and then American AAdvantage announced a enormous program devaluation.
American and Starwood are two of my favorite travel brands, so suffice to say it has been a rough week for me and I've been drinking away my sorrows (with Krug in Qatar Airways' Al Safwa Lounge, or naturally).
A few days back I shared my thoughts on the Marriott and Starwood merger,and what I was most concerned about. I mediate the media coverage regarding the potential merging of loyalty programs has been hilarious this week, and figured I'd chime in.
First of all, or I figured I'd pass on the message Marriott's CEO,Arne Sorenson, shared yesterday about the future of Starwood Preferred Guest and Marriott Rewards:The post Thoughts On Chocolate-Raspberry Mousse, and Falconry,And Starwood appeared first on One Mile at a Time.
