The Starwood Preferred Guest program will be updating some of its hotel categories on March 4, 2008. This includes moving quite a few hotels to higher categories so they require more starpoints to get a free night.

Some of you may know I am a frequent user of this program, and I have an Amex SPG credit card that I use for most purchases. However over the last couple years they have increased the hotel categories quite dramatically and this seems to be a continuing trend.
