Okay, this belongs in the Starwood hotels thread, so feel free to delete it, but since I just signed up for SPG and will be going Gold (thanks to SMD2!), I was looking up my number and noticed that the Sheraton North Houston where we will be staying is part of the "
Every Night Counts" promotion so it seems that you can earn double points on that stay if you sign up by October 31st (but I didn't check rate rules, ie. if group rates are excluded or something). The Seattle Westin is not participating.
Just thought I'd mention it. Cheers, Powers
