It will be interesting to see how the rewards programs are handled. Combined or maintained separate?
I like both so probably won't affect me and I use the Hyatt Chase and SPG Amex for travel as favorites.
Is there talks of Hyatt buying Starwood out there?

It would probably be a slow integration brand by brand. They'd have to pull all of the spg elites in, and with the different elite levels spg has (like 15 tiers of Platinum lol) it would be odd to see everyone lumped in as a diamond. Hyatt might need to make another elite level above diamond.
Hopefully they don't keep both programs separate though, like what ihg and Kempton are doing.
Also curious to see what would happen to the spg airline transfer program, as it is one of the strongest pieces of starwoods rewards program
Are u sure about this? Someone I know at a kimpton property says they will eventually be merged.
I thought Starwood was thinking about buying IHG.
The footprint of IHG with the reward chart of Hyatt would be very nice...but it's all speculation.
There's some company "ILG" that is buying "Vistana" from Starwood, but it doesn't look like Vistana is a big piece of Starwood.
I haven't really been following this hyatt potential buying of spg, but would that mean that hyatt points would have same value as spg because that would be quite an big deal since spg are probably worth the most out of any of the miles currencies out there.
