When we stayed there they sent up a list with options for spending points, including at the spa. Why don't you just email or call them?

I don't think you will be able to score this one... but why not try contacting hotel and asking if they would consider an instant reward you could redeem for the spa services? Each hotel offers a variety of instant rewards depending on services and facilities. Example I know that in Toronto the Sheraton offers massage as an instant reward I don't recall the points needed. But keep in mind I was a guest so that might be different in your case. Good Luck :)

From the Terms and Conditions of Membership (emphasis mine):

7. Active Preferred Guests have the option to redeem their Starpoints instantly. Members can utilize their Starpoints for a variety of hotel products and services during their stay at Starwood properties. Although the exact services available for Instant AwardsSM and the corresponding Starpoints required for redemption may vary by hotel property and are generally, but not limited to, those items qualifying for Eligible Charges for earning Starpoints (see "Earning Starpoints") will be available for Instant Awards. As determined by the property, Instant Awards may also be used on goods or services ineligible for Starpoint credit but which appear on a member's folio. Instant Awards will be fulfilled through a discount credit reflected on your guestroom account or folio. Only Starpoints posted to your account by time of check-in may be used for Instant Award redemptions. Instant Awards cannot be utilized for free award nights ("Preferred Award Nights"), 50% Discount Off Awards, or in payment of room rates. To utilize Instant Awards, you should inquire at the hotel during your Starwood stay. Taxes, occupancy taxes, gratuities and non-hotel-operated services are not available for Instant Awards. At the hotel'"s discretion, Instant Awards may be offered without the guest staying.

So, I would contact the hotel and see if they are willing.

Sincerely,


William R. Sanders
