Is it worth staying at aloft for double points? Or does double aloft points = normal Westin or W points?

Double points brah. All the same.

If the aloft is way cheaper than Westin / W, then it isn't worth it since points are based on rates. Additionally, most alofts (if not all) only give 250 pts for platinum check-in, and 250 for green choice / night, instead of the typical 500.

Is this legal? My spouses company just decided to change their comp structure for account managers. It was base + comm, now it’s commission only but nothing changed, OT commission is the same, didn’t get more points, just took away the base pay and said work harder basically. So now they have to worker harder to get $50k they were already making. (Not a decision based on employee performance, they’ve been crushing it. I think the company is just trying to save money they overspent else where)
