It's gonna be a big one!!!
1) All platinum members who still haven't received their "new" card - I qualified in May - get 12 free resort nights, which must be booked between 12/30 and 1/
5 and must be used by 1/12
2) All gold members get to chose one German property, four American properties and a Thai property out of a hat. Those six properties are "participating" this quarter - for that one member. As a thank you for selecting them, each property gives said member 100x points on all award redemptions which included free breakfast and airport transfer
3) All other members get an email with four, randomly selected properties. If they can find a way to get to them, and stay at each one for 12 nights by June 1, they each get a promise of a Platinum card and high speed internet. From there, see the number one above...

Perhaps an up to quadruple points promotion?
Clicked on a link somewhere else in Starwood land that brought up the following page
http://www.starwoodhotels.com/prefer...or_search.html
which (at the moment, at least) has language down at the bottom left about an up to 4X points promotion. Of course the link there is dead (redirects to page for some other expired promo) at the moment but I do wonder if we're about to see a quad points promo...
