Wow - some potential upcoming trips are covered and this makes SPG clearly more compelling than Marriott right now in my mind. Thanks SPG!!!!

What, nothing in Australia??

Maybe I missed it on the list. I sure hope so. Why leave out a whole country - damn .

I also missed out on the 1000 pts on a stay in SIN in Jan, since this isnt retroactive . Oh well I am happy I got the 500 bonus at least.

Of 16 nights I have already completed, 15 nights were on the list.
However, I am still happy to see SPG offer the possible additional 500 pts on my future nights.

A friend's TA had booked a corporate rate for a FP that showed up on the spg website, however, the hotel re-booked a new reservation with a rate they guarantee will accrue points and night credit. Is this still eligible?

I thought every hotel was in the 500/5000 bonus- and that these hotels are just giving an EXTRA 500! In Tokyo- I would recommend Hyatt more anyway as both the Park and the Grand are fantastic hotels

Hi William,

I just had a stay at one of the properties on the list (Sheraton Eau Claire in Calgary). The initial 500 pts posted within a day. Do we have to do anything extra for the additional 500 pts to post or will they post on another sweep ?

Thanks,

Singlepoint

I had the same question earlier today, and called a Plat Concierge. She said that the additional 500 are sponsored by the hotel and will credit within the next 10 days (or so.) I think it was a poor execution - either corporate should "front" the extra 500 so they post at the same time or hold off on posting until the hotels post. Either way, for the additional 500 - I'm practically living at one of the hotels on the list.

I'm the opposite, my 500 Plat amenity didn't post but the 500 NAN bonus did two days after the regular rate points posted.. go figure

A different question for me; Are these additional hotel sponsored 500 pointers retroactive to 2/1 when the NAN promo began? Ok, I just read back far enough to find the answer to my own question.. NO.. promo for the 2nd 500 (hotel sponsored) starts 2/18..

So far 15 nights and all received 500points + 5000points for the 10 nights, BUT the last 3 nights at the Sheraton Singapore (18-21/Feb) received only 500points and not the 1000points as published. Maybe a lurker can clarify if this will be posted later automatically or should we spend time and call spg?

This is what the terms and conditions of the offer say regarding the timing of bonus points from Night After Night:

Bonus Starpoints will be credited to the member's account within 2-3 weeks of the stay posting to the member's Starwood Preferred Guest account.

So, if the bonuses you were expecting have not applied within 3 weeks of the stay being posted to your account, contact SPG customer service and make an inquiry.
