Sure. Why not? They're given on Cash & Points and Preferred (free) Night Awards.
Just remember to have some eligible incidental charges so they can be applied automatically.

UGH! SPAM!!
This was my fear too. I was getting a few spams a day on my secondary e-mail. After signing up for this promo yesterday, I log on to my e-mail acct, and sure enough, about 8 spams, this afternoon, about 4 more spams. Great, thanks for all the spam eprize.com. Anyone else have this happen to them? Maybe I need a better spam filter.

won nyc
snagged NYC this morning @ 6:30
. Is this the Sheraton Times Sq? looks like it is going to be expensive to make a weekend out of it as the 24th on SPG properties are 325+
May have to make a move out of the city. Heck, I have to get to NYC from CLT first!

No dice. Everyone in the family tried every day (5 of us). Oh well, it was a good family excise every morning for us! 
I wonder if there was any "let's get new people" talk about this? It would be interesting to see how the choices were made.
Had fun with it, even though leaving empty handed.

Just won a night at the Richmond Park South (no e-mail confirmation yet, though)! I was pretty pessimistic, having lost each of the previous days, so this was quite a shock...give it a last try--maybe the chances of winning are actually better now since most of the winning times have passed, so the majority of the unclaimed prizes should now be available (sorry, that made more sense in my head).

Trying to cancel one of these is a work. They do not have my cc but still do not want to waste the space.
Called number on e-mail, tfr to HI desk. Told to call hotel. Front desk tfrs me to reservations. Resevations tfrs me to group desk. Hotel asks me to call 866 number on e-mail. Will try that then I am done. Best efforts.

Calling all winners of this sweepstakes...
Ms. ttrltb won a free night, but never received the confirmation e-mail. I PM'd Thyetus and was cool enough to actually find the award and send me the confirmation #. He also said that he'd forwarded the original confirmation e-mail, but again, it never came through. (Don't know what's up with Ms. ttrltb's e-mail, but I double checked the e-mail address that SLII said he sent it to, searched through all of the e-mails, etc.)
Anyway, have any winners received the confirmation e-mail? It appears so... Can you please post the content of the confirmation here (sans personal info)? I just wanted to see what the penalties and such were...
Thanks!

One thing to pay attention to on these reservations is the fine print at the bottom of the confirmation e-mail about late check-in. I've highlighted the key text:
Guarantee Rules
For reservations not guaranteed with a form of payment at time of booking, rooms are held until set cancellation time per the rules of the reservation. Should you be checking in later than 4pm we ask that you provide us with your credit card to hold the room; your credit card will not be charged. In the event more guests arrive than can be accommodated due to hotel overbooking or an unforeseen circumstance, and the hotel is unable to hold rooms consistent with this room hold policy, the hotel will attempt to accommodate guests, at its expense, at a comparable hotel in the area for the oversold night(s), and will pay for transportation to that hotel.
Looks like they hold the option open of giving away your room after 4pm, unless you've called them to reconfirm.
