Starwood Preferred Guest - Reddeming Spg Points For Dining, Confused And Need Help!!

Hello,

I have tried to redeem points for dining now 3 times and have had no luck at all.

I asked the hotel staff here (St Regis, Aspen) and they look at me with a look that a deer gives you when you see it round here, completley blank!

I called SPG and they had some idea, but not a definitive list of hotels that participate in this program.

Does anybody have any words of wisdom on this topic?

Willam, any ideas here?

Thanks

Key words of wisdom: Don't do it. Whenever I've received a list of in-hotel things I could use my points for (usually given at check-in), using points towards F&B or my final bill has come out to be a horrible value for points. You're better off using points for room nights (either paying for nights entirely with points or with Cash & Points) and paying cash for meals.
