FAQs
Earning: Registered members will earn double Starpoints at participating hotels and resorts on eligible stays of two or more nights within the earning period. Registered members who earn double Starpoints will earn an additional two (2) Starpoints per eligible US$1 spent (for a total of four [4] Starpoints per dollar). Elite-level extra Starpoints earnings and other bonuses will not be doubled. Only the base two-Starpoints-per-dollar eligible earnings are doubled.

Registered members who earn triple Starpoints will earn an additional four (4) Starpoints per eligible US$1 spent (for a total of six [6] Starpoints per dollar). Elite-level extra Starpoints earnings and other bonuses will not be doubled or tripled. Only the base two-Starpoints-per-dollar eligible earnings are doubled or tripled (collectively, the "promotion"). Offer is eligible with other Starpoints promotions; however, each offer will award bonus Starpoints independently of each other, and offers may not be combined.
Bonusing: The bonus Starpoints will post to the registered member's account within two [2] to four [4] weeks after the eligible stay posts.
Eligible stays and nights: An eligible stay is defined as one or more consecutive nights paying an eligible rate in the same hotel or resort, regardless of the number of check-ins or checkouts that occur, and posting to the registered member’s Starwood Preferred Guest account. An eligible night is defined as at least one night paying an eligible rate in the earning period. An eligible rate is any rate that is eligible to earn Starpoints in the Starwood Preferred Guest program. A description of eligible stays and eligible rates can be found at spg.com under the program terms and conditions. See Section 2.1 for the complete definition of eligible rates. Note that certain prepaid room reservations — such as when the booking is made through a third party, including but not limited to travelocity.com, expedia.com, orbitz.com and delta.com — are not considered eligible rates and do not earn Starpoints or qualify for promotional earnings. Stays must be booked through any Starpoints-eligible channel, which includes a travel professional who books through those channels or the GDS. Stays will be processed for the promotion in the order they post to the registered member's account.

I couldn't really find an answer to this question in the topic. Couldn't find it in the T&C neither, except for mentioning that it has to be an 'eligible stay' and there is a limit on that one (is it 90 nights?)
So, any ideas on whether there's a cap on the # of nights for this promo?
And does a long stay (which automatically includes a weekend) count as a stay 'including a weekend' and therefore get the triple points? The T&C state A registered member will earn triple Starpoints if the eligible stay is two or more nights and includes a Friday or Saturday night at participating hotels and resorts in the SPG program.

From the FAQ.
There is a limit of 90 nights for an eligible stay. So if you are staying longer than 90 days, I'd suggest checking out and staying somewhere else for one night and then checking back in.
The second part of your question has been addressed in posts #18 and #33 .
There is no limit to the number of total double bonus Starpoints a registered member can earn.
There is no limit to the number of total triple bonus Starpoints a registered member can earn.

Annoying that Westin Grand Central is not listed. I bring 4 other people with me to meetings. Maybe I will change us all to Westin Times Square. Going to e-mail manager first.

just to make sure I'm not missing something, is the list of participating properties ONLY for the properties that give the extra flat bonus to spg amex card holders, and ANY spg stay is eligible for the double/triple starpoints
or
is it that the list of resorts that are participating includes BOTH those where you get the extra 1500 points AND double / triple points?
TIA

and per what William posted earlier, a stay that includes at least 1 night inside the promotional window is entitled to the bonus for all nights, yes?
ie if the period ends sept 4 and I have a stay checking in sept 4, then that stay earns a bonus on all the nights of the stay regardless of when it ends, yes?
I AM reading that right, I assume?

Just to clarify:
"Registered members will earn triple Starpoints at participating hotels and resorts on eligible weekend stays of two or more nights within the earning period. Registered members who earn triple Starpoints will earn an additional four (4) Starpoints per eligible US$1 spent (for a total of six [6] Starpoints per dollar)."
Does that mean if my stay includes two weekend-nights I earn triple starpoints on ALL nights of the stay, or only on the weekend-nights of the stay?
E.g. If I stay for 7 nights, will I earn triple points for three nights and double points for four, or triple points for 7?

i booked a stay at this particular hotel because that property was included in this promo, and now it is off the list... i feel i have been duped.

I cleared my cache, cookies, history. Still nothing. All I get is white, blank screen.
So, I opened my wife an SPG account and she was able to sign up for the promo!
I called the SPG elite line to tell them this but the person was unable to help. He said he can't sign me up over the phone because this is an online promo only. William, please let me know how I can sign up for this promo.
