How do we determine the "official" place on Facebook for the new promotion? For example, the Westin Peachtree Plaza in Atlanta has 8 places on Facebook and 3 additional places for the SunDial restaurant in the Westin. There does not appear to be any sort of information that would indicate the check-in is at a valid FB place.

just checked into the le méridien jaipur earlier today....no 'special' available here when i checked in on four square....this is the second property i've come across in the last 2 weeks that has this issue....given the fact that the first property 2 weeks ago didn't post the points automatically, this one probably won't either....

A competent web designer would realize quickly what the problem is.

Although there is no list for the foursquare promotion, the list for the Facebook promotion totals just 600 properties. I would say that if you're not seeing a "Special" tag for the venue, then it is likely they are not participating. Of course, you will want to check all listings of the venue just to be sure... but given that there are very few international properties participating in the Facebook promotion, I would lean toward that answer.

come on, please starwood, don't bother me with such "social media" b*s*!
you'd better concentrate on your core business instead of such things @:-)
i am not at all interested in facebook, twitter, foursquare and such things and i think it is contra productive for you if you support such things! that makes me rather book with other chains.

Either share you special offers with all of your best customers or we will go elsewhere. Some of us have much better use of our time than to participate in these junk websites! God, now we have GOOGLE+ haranguing us to sign up for their Beta test.
There was a time it was feared that Big Brother would be government and peak into every corner of our lives. In reality, it is corporations that are peeking into every nook and cranny of our lives to keep track of what we're up to! And they con us into it by signing up to these services under the guise of promotional incentives.

Has anyone had any luck checking in and getting points staying at a Chinese Starwood?
