MisterInternet ... I guess all FT'ers will now just use their best judgement on this one! It may be a wonderful deal, but not being a US resident I'll never know. I'm just devestated!
I just posted to a thread here re how I think is the
RIGHT way to do these things:

Steffo was up front, said clearly he/she was gonna get points out of the offer if the user stayed 5 nights in 17 months, but in turn the recipient got a
Sheraton Gold card, with the real benefits that brings.
That to me personally that is a much nicer deal and the terms were spelt out very clearly up front.
And it is my humble guess that Starwood/Sheraton group will be around in 17 months time. So will their Starwood Points plan. Not sure what odds I'd place on the
Wingspan Bank if they had my dough!
