LOL. No, but you do need to register at least once and it's pretty apparent that Si_Ting_ca didn't get'er done the first time or the second attempt would not have gone through.

1000 SPG bonus points but register for 500 SPG points?

I saw from this link
http://specialoffers.starwoodhotels....propertyID=281

1000 SPG bonus points!
SPG Night After Night
Earn 1000 bonus Starpoints every night and an additional 5,000 every 10th night.
An SPG member favorite is back and richer than ever. Earn nightly rewards with our SPG® Night After Night promotion. Register now and you'll earn 1000 bonus Starpoints® with each night, plus an additional 5,000 with every 10th night. That's 15,000 bonus Starpoints every 10 nights — all to celebrate our 10th anniversary.

One night here. Two nights there. Each individual night adds up to unlimited bonus Starpoints at any of our over 890 participating Starwood hotels and resorts worldwide through April 30, 2009.

However when I followed the link to register, it brings me back to 500 SPG points instead of 1000. Is that a website bug? Or I have to call somebody to register?

Regards,
David

Hi David,

Welcome to Flyertalk forums.

1. Have you registered for this promotion already? If you have, you do not need to do so.

2. Is this your first encounter with the promotion? The additional 500 bonus points is an extension of the Night after Night promotion.

Whoa, yeah, this offer sounds like a much better promo! How do we register for this?

[edit] OK, NM, I see it is offered at specific properties.... TIA.

Ok. I am worried. It is actually the same promotion with an extended bonus opportunity.

Is the description too ambiguous?

Yeah this was a confusing move. Create buzz. Launch promotion. Alter the promotion for a subset of the properties. Publish information about the promotion using different wording and marketing material making it difficult for some people to realize that it is multiple versions of same promo.

That said, I understand it and am happy for the extra points!

Thanks.

Yes, I have already registered for this promotion and yes, this is my first encounter with the 1000 bonus point promotion. Earlier I have already registered for the 500 bonus points promotion.

It looks like the extra 500 pts post like this:

SPG NAN 500/NT - HTL BNS (85H)

I know it's been reported by both Lurkers that the extra 500 pts will post separately and later, but I just had both bonuses appear at the same time in my account for a Feb 23rd stay. They show as follows:

Earn +500 02/28/2009 SPG NIGHT AFTER NIGHT 500 PTS
Earn +500 02/28/2009 SPG NAN 500/NT - HTL BNS (85H)

Only thing missing is the online bonus:
CCC ON-HOLD BONUS REFRD TO WEB
which I expect will post on Wednesday evening.

It really would be great if they could include another code in the postings with the unique ID of the property so we could know which are posting from which. I had 4 stays in the past week, another 5 in the next two weeks, and keeping track of what posted becomes a chore. One I'm happier to perform than not, but still a chore.

So what is this activity - SPG NAN 500/NT - HTL BNS (85H)

Stayed at the Westin in Ft Lauderdale. Wasn't the night after night bonus and wasn't the plat amenity. Nothing wrong happened. In fact, they upgraded me to the presidental suite.
Some special I wasn't aware of?
