At my recent 3N stay at the SGS Bangkok, where I booked and paid for 2 rooms, it was counted as 2 stays and 6 nights - shhhh! I'm just waiting for the NAN points to get credited to see if they're counted towards the 10 nights bonus.

Thanks Starwood Lurker and Cheap Elite for the clarification. As with FT though, yes, YMMV.

I saw a couple mentions of "triple points" in this thread, though I can't find any reference to the promo. I just had a "TRIPLE POINT BONUS" posted to my account and have no idea where it's from - I'm staying at the same 2 properties I have all year. Any ideas?

I also have had a few "SPG NAN 500/NT - HTL BNS (85H)" lines mixed in with the "SPG NIGHT AFTER NIGHT 500 PTS" items - are they the same?

April 4, and I'm at 100 line item postings on my spg account for the year, with no redemptions - it's been an active quarter.

The SPG NAN bonus is the additional 500 points that was added after the original promo began at select hotels, giving a total bonus of 1000 points per night, in addition to the 5000 bonus points for 10 nights.

The SPG night after night posting is the original 500 points promo.

Stayed at The Westin Kuala Lumpur about 2 weeks ago. Within a few days, I received my 1,000 bonus points. Thank you Starwood!

ugh and the poster does mean select. I stayed in chicago and of course it was not on the list. I didn't check until only 500 pts posted

Oddly, for the first time since the promo began my bonus points didn't post after Saturday. I checked out on Friday and the base points posted the next day. I've been doing the same hotel every week.

+2500 SPG NIGHT AFTER NIGHT 500 PTS (04/04/2009)
+2500 SPG NAN 500/NT - HTL BNS (85H) (04/04/2009)

This promo is outstanding! I stayed at the Le Royal Meridien Shanghai and got the bonus points. I'm still missing another 1000 but I just checked out Saturday so maybe a bit of a delay in the second part posting.

I'm going to stay at Planet Hollywood due to this promo.

i recently stayed at a category 2 on points and received the 500 + 500 NAN bonus points and stay credits. i assume this was an error, but not complaining. that made the net cost be 2k points/night for the weekend nights.

Night After Night - Points Posting Question

Just curious if anyone has seen a delay in posting of the bonus points for the Night After Night promo. While reviewing my account this week I noticed that my most recent points activity does not reflect a credit for this promotion. For other stays that I have had the bonus points were usually posting a day after my stay. For example:

Stay posted: 01/23/2009 Promo posted: 01/24/2009
Stay posted: 02/13/2009 Promo posted: 02/14/2009
Stay posted: 02/20/2009 Promo posted: 02/21/2009
Stay posted: 02/27/2009 Promo posted: 02/28/2009
Stay posted: 03/13/2009 Promo posted: 03/14/2009
Stay posted: 04/04/2009 Promo not posted as of 4/07/2009

I contacted Starwood on this and was referred back to the T&C of the promo that said the points would post in 2 to 3 weeks. Maybe I was getting spoiled with the immediate posting of my bonus points but I'm just curious if others had noticed a change/delay. One thing I thought of that may be the cause in the delay is that I had the hotel extend my stay by one day but that shouldn't have screwed up my getting the promo points should it?

I know I should be patient and wait the 2 - 3 weeks and then if the points don't show up contact Starwood again but it was sort of nice seeing the points show up a day after my stays so I didn't have to keep track of whether the bonus was posted.

Any constructive feedback/comments are appreciated! Safe travels!

You don't list the names of the properties. My experience is posting are based on how the hotel processes your reservation.

Maybe the hotel(s) you used for the first five stays, processed your stay immediately (or they process nightly) the last hotel might does things different. Hey...that's all I have.

Actually all of my stays have been at the same property and will be at least through the end of May, 2009. That's why it was a little out of the ordinary for this last stay since all of the others posted right away. Maybe I'll check at the hotel since I'm staying there again next week. The hotel points didn't have a problem posting - it was just the bonus points for the Night After Night. Does the hotel handle the promo points too? I thought that was handled by SPG and not the hotel.

I've seen my bonus post on Saturday's regardless of when I check out. All of your dates except 4/4 are Fridays, so they have time to post during the Saturday postings. Your Saturday stay probably didn't have time before the Saturday postings.

My guess is that you'll see the bonus show up next Saturday.

Yes, I too have had this delay. For my previous four stays, the NAN bonus posted the day following the original Starpoints posting. Then, starting with my 4/3/09 stay and a subsequent stay at another property, the points have not yet (as of 4/7/09) posted. Not a huge deal, though with so many trips, hotels, bonuses, etc. it would be nice not to have to keep track of all of it. Customer Service gave me the same "Two weeks. . ." response.

OK, since I have nothing, then I'll say this. Maybe the good folks at this property are tired of seeing you? LOL Have you been a naughty guest?
