^ Great promo. Need to move some bookings from Hyatt to SPG now. Too bad there is a gap between Apr 16th and 30th.

I just canceled my bookings with SPG for the next two weeks and booked elsewhere where I can get points and miles. This means about 9 nights (4 stays) lost revenue for Starwood. It will be a nice little kick for my frequent flyer program and a few extra points as well. I will hook back up with Starwood in May. BTW, the promo is nice for this FF.

You can probably soon (next week?) find a wiki somewhere with this information!

If I make the template with the list of resorts, would you (or someone you know) fill in the $$$ for us?

It seems to me that y'all should have spare time on Monday. Weren't y'all planning to roll out a big new promo on Monday? If so, I think that's now off your schedule.

Are the points in addition to the (for me rather useless) free night vouchers?

LOL. I think I'll leave that for your peers to help with. margarita girl has already offered her services to assist. The thing about something falling off your calendar is that there are five things rushing in to take its place.

Yeah, announcing this on Friday now means his Monday will be inundated with answering a weekend's worth of annoying promo questions, like if properties without standard rooms will be participating.

Past performance is no guarantee of future returns. In the past, no promo has been restricted to resort redemptions either, so using your logic, this one isn't either.

Don't worry. We'll just make up answers in your absence.
