I got the same as OP, as well.

If I got this right, your 20 nights start counting AFTER the third stay, correct?

IMHO, without qualification, it could be read either way :

After the third stay, registered members may be eligible to earn ten thousand (10,000) bonus Starpoints after twenty (20) subsequent nights

or

After the third stay, registered members may be eligible to earn ten thousand (10,000) bonus Starpoints after twenty (20) nights since the start of the promotion period

My offer is slightly different.

EARN 2X STARPOINTS ON YOUR FIRST 3 STAYS.

SPG® DOUBLE TAKE BONUS
Starting on your fourth stay, you can earn up to 10,000 bonus Starpoints®:
  • Achieve 10 nights and you'll earn 5,000 Starpoints.
  • After 10 nights earn 500 Starpoints for each additional night, up to 5,000 Starpoints.
If you are on the 20 night bonus etc then unless you are going to stay a lot more than 30 nights in a SPG property between Jan and April then it would pay to make the first three stays one nighters

It's certainly not worth changing your stay patterns for this promo. Whether your first three stays are one-nighters or longer, you still get 2x points.

Yep, by having the clock on the 20 nights only starting after the completion of the 3rd stay, the structure of the promo is actively encouraging SPG members to make their first 3 stays as short as possible, so it effectively penalises members who (have to) stay for more than 1 night in their first 3 stays. 2x points is partial mitigation, but usually will be less than the 500 per night you get once past the 3rd stay.

Only those members who pay less than $250/night and have no life outside the SPG program.
I was afraid something like this would come out now that I had to book a 31 night stay starting in the beginning of January

I got this one as well. Same with DH who has many more stays than I do.
Lol, that's a crazy promo.
I probably won't do more than the 3 paid stays at spg as the target is set too high/offer to low for me. Got the 3stays + 20....
I never had more than 70 nights per year with spg....

Ihg accelerate offers for me and the wife are great.
Just had the first airbnb experience in asia and it wont be the last airbnb stay as everything went smooth and much better than expected.

U got to throw in some more bones.....
