IN Bangkok @ Westin now. Special isn't coming up.
I've checked in, but there is no special to unlock?
At any of the properties. It was there yesterday when I unlocked it @ the Le Meridien.

Exclamation Specials Not Working

Specials aren't coming up in Cleveland, OH either. I also checked Sheraton in San Antonio where I was last week and it isn't coming up there either.

Working well

The Check In system is working well with the 250 bonus points arriving within 48 hours of checkout.





Thank you Starwood!

i've checked in at several locations with no special to unlock, and the bonus showed up fine, so i'd not worry about it (but check a couple days after checkout to see if it posts ).

Honestly, I've never seen those 'specials' come up on 4s & have gotten the 250 pts for every stay so far!^

Clearly this is sporadic. I was at the same two hotels multiple times over 2 weeks, used same internet connection each time - sometimes the special unlocked sometimes it didn't. Frustrating!!!!

I'm lagging behind around 1,5 k Foursquare check-in points. Could that be due to me using the mobile website on my phone, not the app? However, who except for me keeps track of this and when will I ever get my points or solve related issues? So many questions, so little time.

I've checked in all the times from the mobile site and never had any issues, though my last two foursquare bonus have not posted yet.

Prior to this it posts one day after my stay posts on my account.

Westin Desert Willow Palm Desert

Hmmmm.... so I've used the FourSquare check-in w/ no problems at like the last 6 properties. The 250 spg pts have posted to my account within a few days....

But I'm here at the Westin Desert Willow Palm Desert - - checked in for the villas about an hour ago. Have checked-in on FS.... and i see the special, but it won't let me click.

What to do??

out of 3 stays per week, i would say i average about 1/3 success in getting the points to actually post to my account.
