See Section 1.4 b iii for the complete definition of eligible rates, but note that certain prepaid rooms where the booking is made through a third party (including but not limited to travelocity.com, expedia.com and orbitz.com) are not eligible rates and do not earn Starpoints or qualify toward promotional earnings.

Thank You! (And let the fun begin. ;) )
across all hotels and resorts in the SPG program |
Not too bad of a promo, unfortunately I do not really stay much during this period.
|
Like this one !!!
|
William,
You're doing everything you can to help me get to the Gold Lifetime status in the coming year, I'm short by 14 nights. I fully intend to reach that target before April 15th! ;) |
This will be good for those with lots of nights in the time period but who like to maintain multiple hotel statuses... b/c after 20 nights, there is 0 benefit. So, you can hit your 20, and then not have to debate if there is another "better promo" at another chain.
|
20 nights = a 900 per night point bonus... with no opt outs - i'll take it!
obviously there will be some who say its not generous enough, but thats the trade off i suppose when have 100% hotel participation |
Overall, excellent promo! ^
|
Will Reward and Cash and Points stays count too?
I've never understood why the promotions don't start immediately after the last one ends. Is my loyalty not appreciated for the two weeks between the end of the Better by the Night promotion and the start of this one? It would be nice if my nights between Jan 1-15 counted too, as that will probably be the difference for me of reaching the 20 nights. |
^
Ton of stays booked already |
Hang on a second. Do you hear that..................silence from the perpetual SPG critics.
Can it be? William-quick-go and buy a lottery ticket. You are the luckiest man alive for coming up with a promotion that does not get flamed in the first 5 minutes! :D |
How does this promo fare compared to the previous double pts / triple points?

With this one you do not have the multiplier effect when staying 2 or 3 nights in a row This one is better for me |

I'm a big SPG fan but maybe I'll be the first naysayer. OK not really naysayer...the promo seems fairly good. For some reason my initial reaction was "Only 18,000 points?" I have an intrinsic feeling that I've typically earned more points than this during other Q1 promos. I don't have any empirical evidence to support that though.
Stacked with the Le Meridien promo though, this does make for a pretty sweet January / February. |
