Recap: Walmart Same Day Delivery Free, Sheraton Iguazu Leaving SPG & More

  • Uber Pulling Out Of Quebec In October by PYMNTS. Seems like they are trying to leverage this into easier rules for themselves. I think Uber plays with fire every time they make these decisions. When they first started they were almost universally loved, but times are a changing and most people have a mild dislike to the ride sharing company at this stage so they shouldn’t be relying on public support anymore.
  • Wal-Mart Will Offer Free Same-Day Delivery in NYC by Bloomberg. Interesting because they don’t have a physical presence in NYC.

 

  • Sheraton Iguazu leaving Marriott/SPG. Reader Scott was sent an e-mail saying the Sheraton Iguazu is leaving the SPG program effectively September 29th, 2017. E-mail as follows: ” As a valued Starwood Preferred Guest member, we are writing to inform you of a change in the status of the Sheraton Iguazú Resort & Spa. As of September 29, 2017, the property will no longer be part of Marriott International and will no longer participate in the Starwood Preferred Guest (SPG) program. We see you are currently holding a reservation, confirmation number xxx arriving on XXX and departing on XXX. We are pleased to inform you that the hotel will honor your reservation for a Preferred (free) Night Award, including Cash and Points, as your stay was originally confirmed. However, since the hotel will no longer be affiliated with the Starwood system, you will not earn Starpoints for any eligible charges incurred, nor will you receive any of your Starwood Preferred Guest membership amenities or benefits. We realize this may be disappointing but hope we can count on your understanding. Should you need assistance and wish to connect with a member of our Customer Service team, you may email us at: [email protected]. We appreciate your continued patronage of Marriott International Hotels & Resorts Worldwide and we apologize for this unforeseen change and any inconvenience it may cause for you. We look forward to welcoming you to a Starwood Preferred Guest participating property in the near future.
