I'm hoping for the 20k points for each 10 stays again. I have enough free nights that expire between the Hyatt & SPG promotions

It is also quite fun to know Thyetus Lee's Chinese name 李俊营.
Lee = 李, 俊 = handsome, 营 = camp/battalion.
The job title of Thyetus also sound extrodinarily which gives a perception of importance I think
喜来登酒店及度假酒店國際集團網絡討論區協調員 which translates to
Sharaton Hotel and Resort Hotel International Group Network Discussion Area Cooperator

I'm thinking this promo (Rewarding Returns) might really be hot.
Seeing it as a possible answer to Hyatt's just-ended BWB, which in fact was quite awesome.
Then SPG Amex comes out with their best offer ever right before (I believe) the much anticipated Chase Hyatt co-branded shows up. Pre-emptive strike by AMEX and SPG?
If this winds up being a smokin' hot promo, let the war between SPG/AMEX and Hyatt/Chase rage on. Love to stay at either and will no doubt rack up the freebies.

Just the opposite for me. SPG is an awesome program, but these games leave a bad taste in my mouth. In most cities, I can find a good room for 1/2 the price of Starwood's (1/3 of the price where I stay). They are more likely to lose my business with this approach. Ahem, we deserve more than high school games.

Over the next few days, SPG will be launching a new promotional offer series called "SPG Rewarding Returns".

Geez, calm down people. The Lurkers did us a favor by letting us know about a promo before it was officially announced, and now we just bug them because it's not up yet?
If this is the thanks they get for giving us a heads-up, next time they might decide to just avoid the hassle and not announce the promo until it actually happens. I, for one, appreciate the heads-up.

If you are thinking about booking a lot of stays for the coming months over the next few days you might just hold off now and wait to see if Starwood tempt you! If the Lurkers say nothing and you make your bookings elsewhere all people would do is complain that they were not told about a promo soon enough!
The Lurkers must feel sometimes their damned if they do and damned if they don't!
