And I am putting in a special request to postpone the 1st Quarter promo to July when my first stay for 2012 will occur.

if this is true...which it looks like it is....
One of the absolute all time worse Q1 promotions! Just look at the list of non-participating hotels. Pretty much count out all of Asia; especially Japan, Korea and Thailand. Wow. Very disappointing.

Why forsake Asia again?
Starwood seems to be pushing their customers in Asia into the waiting arms of Shangri-La and Marriott. This is the 2nd consecutive promotion with little or no participation from China and other East Asia hotels...

Yes, but I don't think that it's a question of all the properties in Asia independently deciding to opt out. I believe that Asia was excluded by design. Certainly there are a few properties in Bangkok with very low occupancy (recovering from the floods) which would love the extra business right now.
