They are created once reviews and discussion about a specific property warrant a dedicated thread. All that takes is a single thoughtful review, so any time you feel a post about a property without a master thread could be the genesis for one, please use the 'Alert a Moderator to this Thread ' button (the red triangle) in the bottom left corner of every post to bring it to our attention.

The SPG Forum FAQ & Hotel Master Thread List
In this thread, we will be creating a master list of valuable resources related to the Starwood Preferred Guest program and Starwood hotels. It is intended to become the go-to place for "Everything you ever wanted to know about SPG. . . that someone has more than likely already asked."
Please note: If you know of a thread that you believe would be a helpful one to add to this list, here's what to do: First, find the thread. In the bottom-left-hand-corner of the first post in the thread, look for the "Report Bad or Misplaced Post" icon (which is a red triangle). Hit that icon and note in the message that you would like to suggest that the thread be added to "SPG Forum Primary Resource Thread." Then send the message, which will send your note, along with a link to the thread, to the moderators of the forum.FAQ's about Starwood and SPG Popular Starwood Hotels - Master Thread ListStarwood Contacts - How to contact various Starwood Customer Service entitiesStarwood Site Links - A compendium of Starwood websitesPost a trip report with photos -- How to add photos to your post in the SPG forumStay Related Starwood policy: guarantee bedding and smoking preference on paid stays Starwood Policy: Complimentary Water, by Brand Difficulties booking lowest rate shown on SPG.comButlers : what do they do? how much do you tip?Elite Status Related:
