Starwood Preferred Guest - Latest Starwood SPAM

did I sign up for this?

SPAM from STARwood.com

The Freddies are the most respected awards in the travel industry because frequent travelers like you choose the winners.

Your vote can help Starwood Preferred Guest® take home “Program of the Year” for the fifth straight year. With more award-winning hotels than any other program, no blackout dates, SPG.com and outstanding customer service, there’s no other choice.

Last year, Starwood Preferred Guest received more Freddie Awards than any other program, winning 12 out of 16 categories, including:

• Program of the Year
• Best Award Redemption
• Best Elite Level Program
• Best Customer Service
• Best Web Site

Starwood actually won an award for best web site? If so, either I have no comprehension as to how crummy other websites are, and how incompetent the other programmers are, or the vote was rigged.

Starwood won best website for domestic (US) but not for international (it placed second behind priority club).

I suspect that folks voting for Starwood in several categories may not have a real opinion on best web site and just revert to their most frequent choice for this award.

I know that I don't have a strong opinion of "best newsletter" but there's a Freddie Award for it. IIRC I just didn't vote for that category, but I suspect most people do. How many do you think carefully consider their choice in that category?
