Agree that they should really announce the promo already (or shortly after the current one ends). Promos drive stays (at least Starwood must believe they do to continue to invest in them) ... so I'm not sure why Starwood frequently waits so long to announce what the promo will be. My only guess is, given the frequently long non-participating hotel list, it might take them awhile to get a sufficient number of properties on board.

Well for once Starwood has done a good job by keeping this promo a secret. Unless they don't announce one.

The current Triple Up promo will ends in Dec 18th, so hopefully something will be announce soon.

No idea the accuracy, but given it's close to the date and the level of specificity, I'm inclined to believe it
A close friend heard today from someone with knowledge of the details. The above appears to be correct.

Was that your third cousin's neighbor's hairdresser's dog's trainer?

Coworker who talked to a SPG employee? Cute though.

Unfortunately, a rumor is just a rumor no matter where it starts.

they will probably do the promo they did last month where they will iron your clothes for free if you stay with them.

The fact is that the promo will be announced at some time in the near future.
