I booked 3 nights for my parents at the Phoenician for this President's Day (36,000) and 5 nights for myself at the 4P Darling Harbour for 1/2008 (28,000). I was going to book 3 nights at the Westin St. John for this March, but I couldn't get the airfares to work out properly since United doesn't serve STT every day with its own metal.

I try to keep my SPG balance around 72k (six Cat5 low season nights to be used 1-3 at a time) and my Hilton balance around 250k (two 4-night Cat5/6 AXON stays), so I had been spending Starpoints even before the inevitable announcements had come out.
