And are there any other known rate codes? I also found that the rate code for cash & points is SPGCP - is there then also a rate code for Starwood free nights using only points?

Thanks!
SET = Starwood Executive Traveler
BAR = Best Available Rate

Preferred (free) Night Awards follow the format: SPG?, where the ? = the category of the hotel.

Then there are upgrade award rate codes:

SPG?S = Specialty
SPG?SS = Specialty Select
SPG?SU = Standard Suite

There are even some upgrade suite award rate codes:

SPG?SU1
SPG?SU2
SPG?SU3
SPG?SU4

We could be here all night listing all the rate codes that exist.
