When I looked at the Virginia hotels available, the Sheraton Arlington is listed. Didn't ring a bell at all. After checking, it ends up that the Sheraton Arlington (TX) is listed under Arlington, VA!!

P.S. No win here either!

For those having issues with getting the captcha to work, try using an alternative browser. IE and Firefox failed to work for me but Safari seemed OK. That being said, as has been stated by other posters, the promo is not really worth the effort.

NICE! It's good to see a someone from Flyertalk walk away with a free night.

I tried for the (Downtown) Phoenix Sheraton and, as expected, I did not get it.

Folks - don't be scared of ePrize. I partner with them in my online marketing business and they are reputable. Further, the info collected is given to Starwood and is not "mined' for internal ePrize use nor sold anywhere else. Just FYI

TY, however the screen that said Congrats You've Won said I would receive an email within 48 hours confirming. About 15 minutes later I got an email saying Thank You for Registering I hope the confirm comes in the next day or so.

I wouldn't worry. It likely has to go through their prize verification process and then someone is likely manually sending you the confirmation. Not 100% on a contest with this many similar prizes, but that's my educated guess.

Yep, I guess we are not appreciated as loyal customers.

Interesting! I tried Safari and Firefox but neither worked for me.

99% chance that the reason that all Canadians are shafted is because of the strict rules regarding contests in Quebec. Instead of hearing from Quebeckers that they can't enter they decided to exclude us all .

The remaining 1% chance is that the Canadian economy has not been hit nearly as hard as the US in 2009, therefore there is less of a need to do a promo in Canada...
