The T&Cs seem indicate that Starwood activity is defined as "one stay among Aloft, Element, Four Points by Sheraton, Le Meridien, The Luxury Collection®, Sheraton®, St. Regis, W or Westin® hotels." They do mention that "Converting hotel partner points to miles and a stay/activity with the same hotel partner do not count as two activities" - but nowhere does it actually say converting hotel partner points to miles qualifies as an activity.

Are we even sure this is a valid partner activity for this promotion?

When I go to the NW site, I see that Sentry Insurance is listed as a partner under "Auto & Home Services", but then there is no link to get to Sentry.
How do I get a quote?

And I did that for Sentry, and I don't think we've ever gotten a call.

If I sign up for Dining for Miles does this count as an activity or do I have to eat at a restaurant?

You're right, I stand corrected. When you go to the registration page, it breaks the drawing and the quote into separate offers. Only the drawing has the restriction by state.

Any thoughts on how to get an inexpensive point or points for Pile on the Miles?
I did an e-rewards transfer and car rental. My award stay at the Hilton must not count as it does not show up and I don't think it qualifies. I signed up for the Sentry quote but there is no place to put your WP number so I don't think that will not work either.
I may do a miles transfer but would still be one point short of the 4 qualifiying points. I guess I should have done the Delta promotion and I could have used a mall credit
