works for me. I have several multi-day stays coming up. May have to add a night or 2 to hit 10 though.

Anyone know who bonus points are calculated.
For example. Say the rate for your room is $100.
That would be:
200pts (2pts/$)
100pts (Gold/Plat)
Then would it be 3x the rate for the bonus (300 pts) or 3x the 200pts for 600 bonus pts?

I'm a newbie to SPG and I never had the opportunity to participate in a 2x/3x/4x promos in the past. Can somebody do the math? If I spend $1 at an SPG property....you automatically get 2 starpoints. As an elite, you get another 50% on base = 1 starpoint. Hence $1 spent at SPG hotel = 3 points (as an elite).
How does the 2x/3x promos work (as an elite)?
If you spend $1 at SPG, then do you get 4 points (+2 points as an elite) for 2x?
Likewise, for 3x, if you spend $1 at SPG, then do you get 6 points (+3 points as an elite) for 3x?
On top of that, if you use SPG AMEX, then you would get an additional 2 points/$1, right?
Is this right?
Thanks in advance!

the $1 will get you:
2 base points which would become 6 when tripled....
1 point for your elite status which would make the total 7....
2 points for using your spg amex, which would make the grand total 9....
so if you have a $100 stay & take the 500 plat amenity points (250 at some chains) then you get upto 1,400 points per night....

I'm in the same boat. Sounds like this is the Q3 promo and it doesn't do much for me. I'm actually a little relieved as I have been really pushing myself to make the most out of the Hyatt/Starwood promos for months now and this will give me a chance to build up my other hotel loyalty program balances.
Doesn't work so well for me but good luck and enjoy the bonus points for those of you that it does work for.^

In any case I'm perfectly happy with this promotion as I'm too lazy to do hotel hopping to get stay based promos. I have a little better than 60 nights planned during that time so this will work out nicely for me.

OK, so let's add another wrinkle to this...
If I get F&B points from the Moana Surfrider, but not night credit, will those points be doubled or tripled--or only those points associated with a stay?

I'm sure the answers for all these questions will come out with the T&C. Right now, even though it comes from a reliable source, it's still all speculation. Things can easily change on short notice.
