Starwood Preferred Guest Points in 2024

In 1999 they launched the Starwood Preferred Guest loyalty program, which was the first ever for a hotel chain. After the merger with Marriott all members of Starwood Preferred Guest will receive points of both its own and the Marriott Hotel Rewards, and they can transfer status benefits between them.
