That's just E3K which was not an SMD2 specific bonus. Is that what you meant by "Pre-Mega Do consideration"?

Mine posted on Nov 6.

I guess you might check with William on that one if it didn't post to your account.

William mentioned a "Pre-Mega Do consideration". He didn't call it the 3K Sunday bonus, so I figured it was something additional to do with choosing to use the property in conjunction with the SMD. (ever hopeful)

Yeah, I see what you are referring to. I'm sure he meant E3K. Did your E3K bonus post?

It was a very lucrative November for most of us. Thanks everybody, and thanks for following up.

Yes, the E3K did post. Hoping to get further clarification on the other though.

Indeed, a lucrative November. My inner Scrooge is perched on top of a pile of miles & points gold!

Let me clarify that "pre-Mega Do consideration" = the Sunday bonus = E3K. They are one in the same so there is no other.

You got 4K maximum from the nightly bonus and 3K from The Westin NYC Times Square and that is the maximum number of Starpoint bonuses you could have earned as a result of participating in the Mega Do 2, aside from any other promotional offers that you may have been registered for. If you are missing any promotional bonus points aside from those agreed upon with the organizers of this event, then it would be best to contact SPG customer service for further assistance.

Thank you for clearing that up for me. Multiple earning possibilities sure create excitement but become harder to sort.

Do we get an opportunity to say hello & a big thank you on SMD3?

Earn +2000 03/07/2011 MEGA DO THANK YOU

THANK YOU STARWOOD!

And, FWIW, I'd like to publicly state that I'm focusing my stays on Starwood this year so I can requal and earn the Plat they gave out. So far, stays at the W have validated this choice.

Still no Starwood bonus, no calendar. Not obsessing about it.

I don't know anything about a calendar, but I can say with some confidence that you were not on the spreadsheet that was turned into SPG, so it doesn't surprise me with regard to the missing bonus Starpoints.

You are the second such omission discovered in the last 24 hours, I might add. You might want to send me what your wish gift was in addition to your SPG account number.

Wish gift? Is this the mysterious SPG gift that Oliver said was so exciting but no one else has been let in on yet?

Some also requested 1,000 Starpoints as their wish gift rather than upgrade to Gold or Platinum. ....

Having been rebuked for even raising the subject a few months ago, I am glad to see almost everyone's SPG bonus points have now posted (mine also appeared on the 7th). I thank the organizers for their follow-up efforts.

I think you're referring to the special gift that those who were already SPG Plats were to get, since Golds were offered status upgrade and others SPG status matches.

I was referring to this post. My mistake though, I said Oliver when I should have said Tommy.

Here's the Starwood deal:
  • Everyone participating will get Gold status comped immediately
  • Platinum is also being offered, but only as a status match at the regular one time rule.
  • Current Platinums will get goodies as well, but it will be a surprise presented later. Trust me as a 60+ Stays a year Platinum, I'm VERY excited about what they are offering.

You are going to have to have tommy777 explain that one. I don't have any idea what he was referring to.

That really doesn't surprise me since you were left off the spreadsheet sent to SPG, as well. You might want to do as I asked violist to do...who I haven't heard from as yet.
