Here is a good site for background on being pwned. There is also a link to where you can see if your passwords have been compromised.

Sounds like the breach was confined to the Starwood properties database.

"The guest reservation database that is involved was only used for Starwood reservations. Marriott uses a separate reservation system that is on a different network."

"Starwood brands include: W Hotels, St. Regis, Sheraton Hotels & Resorts, Westin Hotels & Resorts, Element Hotels, Aloft Hotels, The Luxury Collection, Tribute Portfolio, Le Méridien Hotels & Resorts, Four Points by Sheraton and Design Hotels that participate in the Starwood Preferred Guest (SPG) program. Starwood branded timeshare properties are also included."

I haven't stayed in a hotel since the early '80s, so I think I'm safe.

I’ve stolen so many shitty rough towels and extra little bottles of shampoo we’re probably even.

That's a little bit more comforting. I always thought that the spg program covered all their hotels from town place suites all the way up to four points.

And then you were only renting by the 1/2 hour, right?
