Thanks for confirming my suspicions.
I have a last minute tripped booked for this weekend involving a stay at a W hotel. When I called Starwood Preferred Guest services, they were not able to enter my elite membership number. I guess not only will I be unable to get points for the stay, but I probably shouldn't expect a complimentary upgrade at check-in either.
Can't blame a gal for trying though.
