SPG have announced their annual category changes for 2016. These changes will take place on March 1st, as long as you book before this date you’ll be locked into the rate you booked regardless of when your stay actually takes place. Majority of properties are going up in price, but some are also decreasing in price. I’ll update this post (or make a new one) with some additional information later. So far, the biggest change seems to be Four Points by Sheraton Penghu in Ma Gong City, Taiwan. It’s going from a category one property (3,000 for weekday stays and 2,000 for weekend stays) to a category five property (12,000-16,000 points), pretty massive increase (8x on cheapest to most expensive rates).
