Looks like a promising promo, but considering the fact that almost all of my stays fall outside the promo period, I would suspect that it is highly likely my one stay in the promo period will be excluded by property non-participation. Also, won nothing, but thanks.

Why not try something different SPG? Different name but same promo

I could not agree more. I am so tired of this exact same promo EVERY FREAKING TIME. It is ridiculous and shows a complete and total lack of imagination and thought.

I made Lifetime Platinum this year (1140 nights over 10 years) but find myself staying at Hilton more because these promos are garbage. Year to Date on 55 nights staying at SPG I have earned 7811 points through promos.

Meanwhile on 79 nights with Hilton, I have earned 147,119 points. Granted different earning levels but almost every night at Hilton has been promo eligible. Only 5 nights out of 55 have earned me anything from SPG. 147K points from Hilton bought me 3 nights at the beach. 7K from SPG got me a nice shiny Lifetime Platinum Card.

Throw in the fact that not a single promo has targeted me this year and I am not feeling the love.

All I can do is vote with me wallet and stays. The last 3 trips in Raleigh I have stayed at Hilton. Normally I stay with SPG because there are a number of good properties in RDU and 3 new ALOFTS. But Hilton game me double and triple points on the stays.

With SPG, I got a rock and when I flipped a room key card, I got nothing. Shocking.

It's a little early to be concerned about that.

Prize Fulfillment and Conditions: Starpoints and Free Night Award will be available in the SPG member’s account within three weeks from the Game Period end date. Use and expiration of Starpoints are pursuant to the terms and conditions of the SPG program. Free Night Awards must be consumed by December 31, 2016.

The game ends on September 11th. If you don't get your game prize Starpoints by October 3rd, feel free to let us know and we'll look into it at that time.

Best regards,

Odd that all wins happened in the beginning - wonder if there was a screwup with win distribution...

On iOS Safari this is the error message I get. I switched to Chrome instead to get it to work.

Thanks for checking in.

You've arrived at the right place, but we're doing a little maintenance right now. Our updated site will be up and running in no time. Thanks for your patience, and please check in again soon.

Hilton is that you? You do realize that Hilton had the same exact promo ALL YEAR? Now that is lack of imagination.
