Thanks to a PM from a SPG lurker after my earlier post here, I contacted SPG App Support.

I received a reply with info about the app and I just re-downloaded the SPG app. It is all working fine now, added my card and reservations back to Wallet.

Much thanks to the SPG team here on FT and at SPG App Support. ^

I just posted an update in the other thread and the new dowloaded app works.

(Perhaps the mods can merge these 2 threads?)

Upcoming Stay Notifications for Cancelled Reservations

Another problem with the iPhone app: I continue to receive upcoming stay notifications for reservations that were cancelled months ago. I'm always shocked thinking I did not cancel the reservation. This happens even when the reservation is not shown in the My Stays listing since it was cancelled. This continues even after downloading the new version.

I've had those. I wonder if the notifications and related code are stored in a different area and not updated when someone cancels. With another hotel chain, I received an Upcoming Stay Reminder email even though I had canceled the reservation.

My only solution is I have the upcoming stays individually in Wallet. The active ones are there and the canceled ones are not.

SPG App for iPhone not working again!

Can the SPG Lurkers advise when this will be fixed please? Usually companies back out bad IT implementations and revert to the previous working version very quickly after the initial failure. It's now been broken for 3 days.

Thanks, LC

SPG app on Apple Watch

The iPhone app works fine. But the Apple Watch SPG app tries to go through an authentication process and then crashes every time.

Is there a solution or does the Watch app just not work?

iPhone app down

For the past 4 hours I've been unable to use the iPhone app. I continue to receive the following message: "Our systems are currently down. Please contact the SPG Customer Care Center (1-888-625-4988)."

Just downloaded the last update for my iPhone and iPad apps; iPad opens just fine but the iPhone app freezes on the main purple 'Starwood Preferred Guest' screen for a few seconds before crashing.

Any fixes? Thanks!

Hallelujah they finally changed the calendar in their app! It was such a pain to distinguish the months clearly.....

Oh and it works fine on my iPhone after the upgrade, no freezes or slow downs.

App mistake requiring manual addition of billing address for booking?

iPad app continues to not include my home country, state, and zip code, requiring me to manually enter those every time I want to complete a booking. Very annoying!

I've contacted tech support twice, shared screenshots, and to no avail thus far. They've told me to log out, delete app, and re-install, all of which I've done now a few times.

Anyone else suffering from this problem?
