    Increase in points for three zones

    Has my memory really gone off the deep end? I thought that the Guest Rewards point rates were lower for bedroom and roomettes than they are now, have they gone up? Any thoughts?

    Select Status

    I attained Select Status about a month ago. Have not heard anything about it from GR. How long does it take them to acknowledge that I have done that? Do I have to notify them or does it come automatically?
