      Had a feeling this would happen since I've been getting weekly low rate offers around the globe.

        Hopefully, four seasons will follow suit!

          Got the e-mail today. At first glance, the program looks pretty piss poor. 30k points for their crappiest hotels; 10 points per USD earned OR 2 miles per USD on just a handful of airlines; Gold and Platinum are not easy gets, however, you can do this by booking meetings onsite -- which I haven't seen others do on the surface.

          Curious to see what the peanut gallery has to say as well.

            Looking at the website now. 50 nights for mid-tier "Gold" and to get comp in-room internet... Upgrades but NOT to Suites and Club level rooms.

            75 nights (!!) for "Platinum"... And still no mention of upgrades to Suites or Club level rooms.

              milehighj, you make some excellent points. I mean, I could even be OK with no suites if we could get Club Level granted... I think the dumb@ss beancounters at RC really think they're above a loyalty program...let alone a respectable one. This program could easily be on the bottom of the barrel.

              I keep saying, "When the economy is tough, customer service always needs to be OUTSTANDING to keep you in the game."

                As MR Elite Platinum, we've always been told that we have a corresponding RC number (not that we've had much use for it). There are only a handful of RC properties that we've taken a liking to over the years, usually owing to a combination of a unique location, endearing facilities, and staff, but truth be told, even these compete with the JWMs and RHs in the immediate vicinity.
