Hopefully the Hilton promo will be decent. All my London hotels have opted out and at least I have time to switch reservations.
I have to do one stay in May to complete the Platinum Challenge and want to settle back with SPG, but they are not making it easy.

6 Points instead of 2 with a Sunday night stay? Is that just for the Sunday night or for all nights in the stay. If it's all nights, that is pretty damn good.

Bummer, not the greatest promo in my book, but I guess occupancy levels are up and seasonality isn't helping us. I feel like the last few promotions have been getting slightly worse everytime and it seems like this is no exception.
O well, I managed to max out Hyatt, SPG, IHG and Carlson this quarter, all of which were decent hopefully the other programs will give something better, but not holding my breath.

Good promo, but quite disappointed that most of Chicago and all of London is excluded.

Yes, as long as one night of the stay is within the promotion period, bonus Starpoints will be earned on every night during the entire stay (even if part of the stay falls outside the promotion period).

Unsaid so far - no down time since the end of the previous promo in the calendar. That's a good thing!

No, any of the nights before May 1st are not within the promotion period for this offer. The night of May 1st will be the first eligible night.

Surprising to see the Sheraton Stamford Connecticut is a non-participating property given its proximity to Starwood headquarters and use as a testing ground for new initiatives.
