Can I book through a third party and earn bonus Starpoints?
Stays must be booked through any Starpoints-eligible channel, which includes a travel professional who books through those channels or the GDS. This is the only way to earn double Starpoints and get our best rates. Stays booked through prepaid, third-party channels — such as orbitz.com, expedia.com, travelocity.com, delta.com, etc. — are not eligible Rate Plans, so the member will not earn bonus Starpoints and will not qualify for the offer. A description of a Starpoints-eligible channel can be found at spg.com under the program terms and conditions, section 2.1.
How many Starpoints do I earn with double Starpoints?
With double Starpoints, a member will earn four (4) total Starpoints per eligible US$1 spent. Elite-level extra Starpoints earnings and other bonuses will not be doubled. Only the base two-Starpoints-per-dollar earnings are doubled. There is no limit on the number of total double bonus Starpoints a member can earn.
If part of my stay was reserved using a Free Night Award or SPG Cash & Points, will my stay qualify?
No. Stays booked with Free Night Awards or Cash & Points do not count as qualifying stays for this promotion. Even if part of the stay is reserved using an Award and part is paid, the member will not receive bonus Starpoints for any part of the stay.
If I check in before the Promotion Period begins, or check out after the Promotion Period ends, but some of my stay is in the Promotion Period, does my stay earn the bonus?
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).
When will double and bonus Starpoints post to my account?
Double and bonus Starpoints will post to the registered member's account within two to four weeks of each eligible paid stay posting. Please note the double Starpoints may post prior to the 250 Starpoints bonuses.
Will I earn stay and night credits toward elite status?
A member will earn stay and night credits as he or she normally does while earning Starpoints.
Can I take advantage of other bonus promotions at the same time?
Yes. However, each promotion earns bonuses independently of each other

My 250 points per night posted yesterday.
The 2500 and 7500 threshold points posted this am.
The double points just posted in the last hour or so.
Nothing on the dashboard yet (as expected).
I hope this helps.

I got my double points for a z3r 3 night stay.
1) I also had a 2nd room paid stay which was booked as 3 back to back nights. Shouldn't I be getting credit for that as well?
2) are the bonus 250 nightly bonus only available on paid nights or do award nights count?
3) assuming that the 15/25 10k is paid out for all paid nights.
Thanks, Scho

Double Points and 250/Night posted for all 4 stays the last of which was checked out on 02/12.
The 2500 points for completing 15 nights has not posted yet for me.
Now, based on SPG Lurker's advice - Need to check with [email protected] about the 2500 SPG-AmEx Keyless promotion

I have found that since the first batch of bonus points posted after the delay, I have been seeing stays posting the evening of checkout, with promo bonus posting at the same time. Definitely a huge step in the right direction. ^

Both my 2500 and 7500 bonus posted.
Double points also posted for all of my 3 nights stays.
Outstanding remains the 3 single night back to back reservations.
Any opinion on these. Should they qualify?
