Dear Mr notknownat,

Great news - you are invited to Gold status in the Starwood Preferred Guest rewards programme until
28 February 2009 - status that normally requires ten stays in a calendar year. Better still, to welcome you
as a Gold Preferred Guest, Starwood is offering up to 9,000 bonus BA Miles on stays between now and
31 December 2007.

Activate Now

You can now collect BA Miles at some of the world's best hotels and resorts, including Sheraton, Westin,
The Luxury Collection®, Le Méridien, St. Regis, W Hotels or Four Points® by Sheraton. With your Gold Preferred Guest® membership, BA Miles will be automatically added to your Executive Club account after each stay and you will enjoy these elite benefits:

• 3 BA Miles per eligible U.S. dollar spent, (a 50% earning bonus over base members)
• Preferred room upgrades*
• 4 p.m. late check-out*

How to earn your bonus 9,000 BA Miles
On your first stay you will receive 1,000 BA Miles, then 3,000 BA Miles on your third stay and another
5,000 BA Miles on your fifth stay. So if you stay five times you will accumulate 9,000 bonus BA Miles - enough for a reward flight to Amsterdam or Paris!
