Starwood Preferred Guest - Have you received bonus pts for online booking for May?

This is for those of you who were targetted with the 500pt online booking bonus for March-May. I have still not seen my points post for my stays in May. Have they posted yet?? Or are they still to come?

Mr. honu had three paid stays in May, all booked at spg.com, but no bonus so far. Perhaps they're a bit behind with the posting.

Haven't received mine either. I had emailed spg.com a few weeks ago concerning this and was told to wait until 30 days had passed. At times it is only done once a month and mine could've just missed the last sweep. Just emailed them back to re-request the points.

Interesting as I booked Sheratons and 4 Pts May 31 and June 1 rec'd 500 for the 5/31, nothing on the 6/1, nothing since for 6/8 stay either.

I think the discrepancy has to do with two different booking bonuses. IIRC there were two going simultaneously. One was targeted the targeted Y60 booking bonus and the Sheraton "Let's Spend the Night Together Bonus."

It seems like the Y60 bonuses post once per month while the Sheraton bonuses post more frequently.

It should be noted that the offer for earning booking bonuses by the above mentioned promos has since ended.

Maybe Starwood Lurker can share more information.

The Y web booking bonuses ended as of May 31st. As far as I know, there has not been another sweep for these web booking bonuses since May 17th.

I'm missing a Y booking bonus form May.

The Sheraton LSTNT bonus posted days after the stay with the regular Starpoints.

Same here. My LSTNT bonus from this past weekend posted quite quickly.

But for the Y booking bonuses, I haven't gotten any points through the entire course of the promotion. I made sure to book through spg.com but still waiting.

There must have been another sweep yesterday. I got the remaining three Y60 500 point booking bonuses posted yesterday for my May stays. A few days ago, a 500 point US Sheraton booking bonus also appeared. I still haven't received the additional Y60 credit for my 5 total stays. (Isn't that supposed be 5k points?)

I am still missing one Y60 500 point online booking bonus...despite numerous emails to starwood.preferred.guest, I have not received this simple request and have literally been led round the proverbial mulberry bush!...I think I will have to ask the Starwood Lurker for help http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

NO. After the having to book at spg.com fiasco I gave up on this type of bonus. In fact yesterday I deleted the information from a spreadsheet. I like spg points but getting them let alone keeping track of them is a pain. SPG has done NOTHING towards making the accounting format for all of our points more easy to read. This is a KNOWN problem and has been admitted by SPG. Yet nothing. You need to be a forensic accountant to tell. So I just stay a couple times per month and things usually hit in about the same zone. No more day after day after day at Starwoods. I'll be pleased if anything hits my accounts for stays booked at SPG.com. IMHO
