Starwood launches SPG — 0 blackout dates
Starwood Preferred Guest launched with no blackout dates in 1999, but this does not affect Indian credit cards. The impact is minimal for Indian cardholders.
Starwood Preferred Guest debuted with no blackout dates on standard-room awards. This means that award redemptions are not limited by blackout dates or capacity controls, giving cardholders more flexibility in their travel plans. Our take: while this development is historic, it does not directly impact Indian travel credit cards, so cardholders can ignore this update for now.
