Is there some way to enter this sweepstakes without having to create a Facebook account?

It's a hit-n-miss promo. Some hotel/ date combinations will save few bucks, sometimes you won't.

One of the more frustrating aspects of SPG.com is that you can't just do one search and get the true lowest possible prices, you have manually enter the various promo codes to see which works best -- and sometime not using one get you the best price.

I didn't realize one could enter without going through FB. In the first two weeks, the FB page allowed you to simply enter your contact info to enter. Now it requires that you allow access from a third-party app. Blech!

Looks like they've changed it. No more entries for me!

Lurker, I love Starwood, but having to join Facebook????

I once did it, misclicked, and it copied over my entire address book. I avoid them at all costs.

Thanks, SPG. I woke up with an email this morning telling me I won 30K Starpoints from the TGIT sweeptake. I don't even remember when I signed up for it, but for sure this is the first time () I have won something. 30K is not a whole lot, but sure it is nice to pocket it.

This certainly comes at the right time to bump up my SPG account balance as I just made several reservations with points and cash to the big island yesterday.

Thanks again, Starwood.
