$9 Aloft Denver airport
Dec. 23/24
Dec. 30/31 pre paid only |
|
Also The Points Guy has it as well
http://thepointsguy.com/2012/12/amaz...-aloft-denver/ |
I couldn't find any other dates even if I try 60 days in dec and jan
Do you know if i can get the points and credit without staying at the hotel?:) |
Booked it for both nights. This will get me SPG gold - not a huge deal, but better than nothing and only costs me $20. I have family that will check in for me (his name is on the res, my SPG number is on there, and it's all paid for). That should be ok, right? I told him if they ask to say my flight was delayed...
|
Snagged :D
|
Nice find, does this mean there will be a year end visit to nearby House of Miles followed up with a NYE DO @ DEN Aloft? ;)
|
I love how the cash + points option is available.:D
2800+$45. |
I want to book this so bad but can't find a reason to. :(
|
Remember to book 3 rooms if you need 3 night or stay credits!
|
I'm kind of a noob to this whole thing, but I couldn't find this answered anywhere. What happens if I prepay the room but never check in?
|
Anybody gotten any other dates to work?

|
wow Clippers play the Nuggets Jan 1st wish they had that deal that day I might have made a trip to Denver. Or if the Nuggets played my Sixers 1 of the days they have the deal.
|
12/23-12/24 still working for $9, seems dead on 12/30-12/31. Actually, I switched to chrome and 12/30-12/31 is working again.

As long as you physically show up to check in.
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/starw...-no-shows.html You WILL get the points (9,18,27 or 36 - whoopee!) , but you WON'T get the nights or stay credits. I knew you got something, but I remembered it backwards. Peace. |

Wow...I've never met anyone that would actually fly somewhere to see the Clippers play :D

I got a notice from Award Wallet that my rate has been changed to $89. Just checked my SPG account, and sure enough, price is now $89. No notification from the hotel whatsoever!

thanks for posting; I checked and my rate went up as well to $89! I checked my credit card statement and there are no charges, yet. |
Same here... This is ridiculous.. Glad I took screenshots
|
Shouldn't they notify a guest first?
|
Got the Award Wallet notification as well. Nothing from SPG or the hotel.
What's interesting is that if you look at the reservation on the SPG website is that it's a prepaid rate that must be paid in advance with cancellation penalties, etc., but then when you scroll down to the Cancellation Policy section it indicates that it can be cancelled with no penalty until 12/20. Haven't seen anything charged to my CC yet. Still I'd rather have this honored instead of adjusting the rate with option to cancel. |
I emailed SPG customer service and they showed that the reservation was changed. Said they would contact the hotel and look into it. I received this from the hotel:
"I greatly apologize for the issue with the rate. We are currently looking into what happened with the system offering a $9.00 rate for the 23rd of December. The actual rate during that time is $89.00 for a pre paid reservation. I can go ahead and cancel the reservation and make sure that you are not charged. Please advise." I'm thinking I can 1k or 2k starwood points for my trouble and cancel the reservation. |
I also only became aware of any change via award wallet.
AW shows the res date changed from Dec. 4th to Dec. 5th. Nice time machine. SPG should contact member, not just offer to cancel if we contact them. Prepaid is prepaid. Usually. But it is still just a few days old. When nothing was said within a few days of booking. I changed Christmas plans to overnight in DEN. "vamos a ver". |
Funny, I was notified by AwardWallet about a rate change on a different SPG property a month or so ago. I had booked the Sheraton Wild Horse Pass Resort using the 10-year promo rate of $149. 6 weeks after I booked, Award Wallet told me the rate had changed to $229.
Called SPG, who called the property. Property claimed that they had to adjust the rate because too many people booked 1-night stays and were 'abusing' the promo (stay 1 night at Wild Horse, 1 night at Westin Kierland = 10K starpoint bonus). They restored my rate, and gave me 1000 SPG points as compensation. |
Just got an email from AwardWallet:
Rooms 1 Room Type 1 Adult, 1 Room Cost $9 $89 Taxes $1.16 $11.44 Total $10.16 $100.44 |
What if you were not signed up for Awardwallet? Were they ever going to notify you of the change or you are just stuck when you show up? Pretty bad on the hotels part to just change it without notification...i'd press for them to honor it or no less than 2K points. If they had contacted you and said "sorry, something goofed, we can't honor this rate, here are your options...." then I can understand not pushing for something...it's one thing to mess up, it's another thing to try and hide it and secretly change it hoping nobody would notice until it is too late. Just bad customer service.

Just got this email, offering either $49 rate or 2k SPG:

And now I am kicking myself i didn't listen to the advice i've gotten which is always book it and see what happens...i didn't have a need for the room or a trip, but 2K points would be a nice gift. |
