Easy to do. Just enter it into your profile, and it will display every time.

My SET code must be in my profile (since I don't need to enter it), but I'm certain that I never added it to my profile.

The three months version ( BTT ) was much better than the six weeks version ( now )...

D'oh! At 6am this morning, the Sheraton Stockholm was showing a BTT rate of SEK 1,050 (as usual) for Thurs 24th Oct (via the SPG iPhone app, using the BTT SET code).
Now it's gone... The cheapest rate now is SEK 1,850.
I miss BTT already.
Damn me for eternity for not just taking the risk and booking it at 6am!

I hope that the hot escapes improves. The offer is a lot thinner than any of the individual BTT or Starpicks offerings before. Worldwide only 25 offers this morning????

Worse rates comparing BTT/starpicks, bad availability, much less participating properties, only 6 weeks forecast, bad website (categories, reloading hotels,...) - everything is worse than before.

It looks like (a few) more deals are being added. Currently it now lists 32 - a bit better than the 25 earlier, but still way off the usual number of Starpicks + BTT deals.

Beat The Timer was much, much better. This sucks.
