This has actually been around for a while. It is very targeted and the offer varys per person. I received this last year for a $50 Amazon gift card or 2,000 points. I registered, but never stayed. I then received it again in December, but this time it was for a free weekend night certificate (Cat 1-5). I completed my stay and the certificate showed up in my account a few days later.
My mother opened her account at the same time as I did and she did not receive either of the two communications that I had received. However, she just received one for 4,000 points or a $25 SPG certificate. She took the points and will be staying by the end of next month.

I also received an email offer for 4,000 points after a stay. Followed by another email and flyer that arrived several days later offering me 3,000 points. I registered for the 4,000 point offer and will be completing a stay this weekend. hmmmmm...I wonder what would happen if I registered for both offers? 7,000 points?

My husband received the offer. He had an SPG number he had never used...since he usually stays at Hilton for work (and only once or twice a year). Timing was great because he had an upcoming business trip and decided to try a Sheraton. He earned the free night which we will be using for an upcoming Hawaii visit!!! The triple points from the current promo helped too!!
AND since I am an SPG member I can transfer my points over to him to top off his account and add on the other 2 nights we wanted in Hawaii!

I got one of these a few years ago. It went from 1k to 2k to 4 to 5k or something. this was before i was crazy into points and didn't see the worth in staying just for points. Probably wouldnt do it for 5k, but would stay at a cheapo hotel for a cat 5 certificate depending on the exp date,e tc.

The Cat 1-5 weekend certificate has a June 30 expiration date for me. I stayed at the beginning of January, so it looks like it should be about a 6-month window. Still trying to decide where to use it. I had hoped to use it at Turnberry in Scotland, but we aren't in Scotland long enough. I am thinking that I might go to the St. Regis in Atlanta, as it would be the first luxury hotel that I have stayed in.

4k points or $50 voucher
I just tried and got an offer for 4k points if I stay with SPG before 30 apr or $50 credit towards use at spa or other on site facility. I went for 4k points. Hope that wasn't a bad decision

Checked all the accounts in the family and only one of them has an offer.
5,000 bonus Starpoints
Your Starpoints® are redeemable toward airline tickets, suite upgrades, unique SPG® MomentsSM experiences and more. With Free Night Awards starting at just 2,000 Starpoints at Category 1 hotels and resorts, you'll already have enough for a night on us.
A Free Night Award
Redeemable for any Category 1–6 hotels and resorts worldwide — with no blackouts.
Notice that it has a free night in upto Category 6 hotel. Not sure which one to opt for. June 30 use-by date will be a problem I think. Not sure if we can use the free night by then.

Which to take though? 5000 points or 1 night 1-6 category? My points tally is 1500 for SPG and have a lot of hilton and priority club points. I usually dont stay at SPG hotels but would find it useful for grandslam this year. I feel taking the 5000 points is probably better for me? Any comments.
