Does anyone know why the following promotion, which shows up in different variations once every month or two, is so hard to find on www.spg.com?? It's
http://www.starwoodhotels.com/promot...PRIM_JULY06LTO

I realize it's only a 5 day promotion period but I have never seen it on spg, the only website that I've ever seen it on is http://www.starwoodhotels.com/index.html?back=-1

Just curious because I am sure I've missed it before but now I check both regularly. Some deals are good, others average. All are non-refundable.

Why are offers of any kind such a pain to find at the SPG site? We can only assume that they really want the deals to go to people who are very persistent and/or regular readers of heavily-trafficked web sites like FT. Nice pickup, i would have missed this link. Thanks ^

Yes SPG may be somewhat tough but have you tried finding promos for Hilton!?! There is no comparison.

There is/was also a link for this promo on the homepage of 4pts or on the right side the SPG page on FFB.

18K Bonus summer promotion

I just recieved my 3k Points

But actually this was my 4th stay in this period 1. June to 15. August already. If my definition of "Stay" is correct ...

May first "stay" in this period lasts from 29th May till 02nd June - doesn't this stay count since it started before June? Thanks

While I don't have the T&Cs for this promo available to review, I believe that any stay that started before the start of the promo period (June 1st) doesn't count towards the promo's requirements.

That would mean that your stay from May 29th to June 2nd doesn't count.

IIRC, the arrival date is usually what matters most.

For this promo, it would seem that only stays which start between June 1st and August 15th count towards the number of stays needed to earn the bonus points.

FWIW, I recently completed my 6th stay under this promo.....and on Saturday, my 6K bonus points posted.

This promo has worked out rather well for me....since I have 3 more stays booked before August 15th.

Are you sure about RENEWR.

I just entered that code for tomorrow night and got:

"We're Sorry
The rate plan you selected is unavailable on the dates you entered, or the promotion code that you entered is invalid. Please choose one of the Rate Plans below, select different dates, or try to enter another promotion code."

All i have on that one is:
"We're fresh and revived. A $5 million renovation will do that. Check out the new and improved Four Points by Sheraton Newark Airport. And earn 750 bonus StarpointsŪ for stays through December 31, 2006. Don't forget that you also get a complimentary breakfast coupon for two. All this is only one-quarter of a mile from Newark Liberty International Airport. It couldn't be any more convenient. Or more comfortable."

and it takes me to this link:
http://www.starwoodhotels.com/fourpo...50_FP_Renovate

I just tried a booking Nov 11-12 and it worked, so it must be limited to certain dates and/or a certain number of rooms.
