Big Changes to Marriott Rewards and Starwood SPG Loyalty Programs

Comments 0 Comment

If you haven’t heard already, Marriott is in the process of merging with Starwood Hotels. As a result, Marriott Rewards and Starwood SPG will remain as separate loyalty programs for the next 2 years before SPG is slowly phased into the Marriott Rewards program. With this merger, Marriott is officially the World’s largest hotel

Right now, Marriott Reward members can also transfer points and match status on both platforms from the Marriott portal here: http://members.marriott.com/. Marriott points can also be transferred into SPG points with a 3 to 1 SPG ratio.

On October 21 and October 22, Chestnut Hill in Philadelphia will be transformed for the annual Harry Potter Festival and Quidditch Tournament. This is a free event for all ages to enjoy and due to increasing demand, the festival is closing down traffic on Saturday so that a whole 10 blocks can be dedicated for Harry Potter fans.

The super popular Harry Potter Pub Crawl is happening on Friday October 21, where you can drink butterbeer and other drink specials with fellow Harry Potter fans in costumes! Tickets go on sale September 28th at 10am for $10 so make sure to save this date in your calendar!

Actors dressed up as Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Dumbledore will also be at Philadelphia’s Train Station to greet and escort SEPTA passengers to the Harry Potter Festival.

Take a look at the video of last year’s Festival below:
