Actually, over in Hilton-land we too can get endless free nights. The promotion was limited to three free nights in the first quarter, but for the second quarter it's not capped. Although Hilton does require four stays for each night, unlike Starwood they are:
- Valid any day of the week
- Valid at any hotel - no category limitations
- Valid for an entire year

You can redeem any category (unlike spg) and redeeming the certificate gives you a "stay credit" towards elite status, something spg does not do.
Both hilton or hyatt promos go further than spg. That alone is fairly sad when you think how far ahead spg was just a few months ago (vs Hilton who typically never had promotions, or Hyatt who tended to be somewhat shy).

A list of non-SPG participating properties can be found at SPG.com/t&c under section 5.1.
ELIGIBLE STAY: An eligible stay to earn a Free Weekend Night Award is defined as one or more consecutive nights within the earning dates at any of the more than 940 Starwood Preferred Guest® properties, paying a qualifying rate in the same hotel regardless of the number of check-ins or checkouts that occur and post to the member's Starwood Preferred Guest account. Multiple rooms charged to the same member during the same stay will only count as one stay. SPG properties and a description of qualifying rates can be found at SPG.com/t&c under program terms and conditions: See Section 4B.4 for the complete definition of Eligible Rates, but note that certain pre-paid rooms where the booking is made through a third party (including but not limited to travelocity.com, expedia.com and orbitz.com) are not Eligible Rates and do not earn Starpoints®.
AWARD: Each Free Weekend Night Award must be redeemed by calling the Customer Call Center and mentioning Award ID 3FWFN. An earned Free Weekend Night Award can be redeemed for a future stay in a standard room at Starwood Preferred Guest Category 1–6 properties between May 7, 2010, and December 19, 2010, for one Friday, Saturday or Sunday night except for hotels in select countries in the Middle East and Africa. Redemption will be for a Thursday, Friday or Saturday night in the following countries: Algeria, Bahrain, Chad, Djibouti, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Libya, Morocco, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Tunisia, United Arab Emirates and Yemen.

Free Weekend Night Awards are not transferable, even among members of the same household, and may not be given as a gift.

An "Eligible Night" is each night during an Eligible Stay.
How soon will Free Weekend Night Awards show up in a member's account?
A Free Weekend Night Award will credit to a member's Starwood Preferred Guest account within 3–5 days after the third eligible stay posts to the account.
How does a member redeem a Free Weekend Night Award?
To redeem a Free Weekend Night Award, SPG members in the U.S. or Canada should call 888-625-4988. Elite members should call their dedicated Gold or Platinum customer service lines. Members residing outside the U.S. and Canada should contact the SPG Customer Contact Center for their region; advance reservations are required, and all members should ask for Award ID 3FWFN.

Are there any blackout dates or capacity controls on where or when a member can use a Free Weekend Night Award?
There are no blackout dates or capacity controls, but Free Weekend Night Awards are subject to standard room availability. The same inventory of standard rooms is used for paid or regular Starpoints® redemptions, so a Free Weekend Night Award may not be available at hotels that have a limited amount of standard rooms.
Can a member use Starpoints to upgrade his or her Free Weekend Night Award to a better room?
Member may inquire at the hotel as to the availability of an upgrade using Starpoints for Instant Upgrade Awards. However, Free Weekend Night Awards cannot be upgraded online or through customer service ahead of the reservation.
Is a Free Weekend Night Award valid for existing reservations?
Free Weekend Night Awards may not be automatically used in place of an existing paid or other award reservation. Members may call the Customer Contact Center, cancel an existing reservation and attempt to rebook the same stay in order to use a Free Weekend Night Award, but they risk losing availability and may have to pay cancellation fees.
Can an existing reservation count toward earning a Free Weekend Night Award?
Yes, as long as the member is registered for the promotion, the rate is a Starpoints-eligible room rate during the promotion earning dates, and the stay posts to the member's account prior to the promotion ending.
If a member checks in before May 1, 2010, or checks out after July 31, 2010, does the member still earn credit for that stay?
As long as one eligible night occurs during the eligibility earning window (May 1–July 31, 2010), a member would earn a credit toward a Free Weekend Night Award for that stay.
If a member earns more than one Free Weekend Night Award, can the member use them on consecutive dates under one reservation or for separate stays on different weekends?
Yes. Once a member has earned two or more Free Weekend Night Awards, he or she can redeem them consecutively for an entire weekend or separately on different weekends.
Can a member use his or her Free Weekend Night Award as part of a longer stay that has paid nights?
Yes. Free Weekend Night Awards can be used alone or as part of a longer stay.
Can a member use his or her Free Weekend Night Award as part of a longer stay that has other free nights redeemed?
Yes.
Do Free Weekend Night Awards combined with other free nights qualify a member for a fifth-night-free redemption?
No, they do not.
Can a member gift his or her Free Weekend Night Award?
Awards are not transferable and may not be given as a gift.
What would happen if a member makes a reservation using his or her Free Weekend Night Award and then cancels it? Does the member lose it?
As long as the member cancels the stay in accordance with the hotel's cancellation policy and additional weekends remain in the redemption period (May 7–December 19, 2010), the member may use his or her Free Weekend Night Award on a subsequent weekend up to and including December 19, 2010. However, no-shows and members who cancel outside the hotel's cancellation policy may risk losing their Free Weekend Night Awards and penalties may apply.

Taketh with one hand = 3 stays to earn a Free night; and
Giveth with the other = 12/19 redeption deadline.
As others have said, better than 'nuthin.
I must congrautlate the powers that be at SPG who have steered a middle course between my disappointment and elation.
Had I not had my summer plans already set, I would be flocking to Hyatt, but since I am spending 9 nights in Japan (4 @ the Park Hyatt Tokyo and 5 at the Hyatt Regency Kyoto) with another long trip over Labor Day at the Marriott Berlin, there is no need for me to go to a Hyatt, nor for me to go out of my way to stay at an SPG property now; therefore, am most definitely canceling my stay at the Starwood property in Kyoto.
As always, however, I appreciate SL I and SL II input and assistance in this forum.

Would personally much rather have had a shorter redemption period than the increased stay requirement, but hey, if it suits others then who am I to argue..

thanks to William and Thyetus for the post. I would have liked the 2:1 ratio but 3:1 is not making a difference to me this year 
^ to spg for a Q2 promo, regardless of my personal usage.

Thanks SPG, better than nothing. But I wonder why is so difficult to beat Hyatt's benchmark. 2:1 for all days of the week. I like SPG, but won't move any Hyatt reservation to SPG in May/June.
Since is not launched yet, why not try to reshape it? 2:1 weekend only (like 2009) or 3:1 all days (still lower than Hyatt) but you must have some info we don't.

Different approach
Guys I am looking at this in a whole different way. If *wood loses Plats to the compettion then that just means that upgrades should be easier to achieve. I am sure not going to downgrade anything that is FREE. If you do not like the program then by all means go somewhere Else
Thanks *wood every little bit helps
