Whoa, 25% off awards?

That could be a big fat juicy promotion, depending on the caveats/limitations.

A few years ago I received a one-shot 50% off SPG award. That basically put $700-ish worth of points back in my pocket. Simple Cat 4 five-nighter. I'm sure others raked even bigger savings.

UPDATE, AFTER VIEWING THE SPG BOARD:

- The limitation on the 25% off offer is Cat 5, five nights, not applicable to N&F. In other words, a max 12,000 point bonus. Use by 7/31/11.
- The good news is that apparently this promotion is stackable with Starwood's usual quarterly promos.
