Great promo - I almost always do 3 night stays, so this will really boost my points. Thanks, SPG!

This will be good for my Can/US business trips but useless for my February which is all Thailand and Germany

Also not a fan of this promo, but see why it could work for others. I have a lot of one-day stays as I travel to different places during the week and constantly checking the non-participating list (and having entire cities/countries/regions on it) is tiring.

Thanks for the promo ^

Works well for me since I have weekly 3-night stays until the end of April. Of course, quadruple points for 4 night stays would be even better...

Yes, but only if you don't count that pesky Asia area

first 4 nights a NO-GO. Need to see if I can find another hotel with a good promo.

Will be taking advantage starting tomorrow in NYC. My one night stays will be going to Hilton though for this quarter. The promo is changing my historical behavior - traditionally, I'd spend the first quarter hopping every night until I got my 25 stays to lock in Platinum. (You never know when you may be off the road).

That being said, looks like I'm going to be delaying my requal until later in the year. Maybe a stays-based (non-FWN) promo next quarter?!?!

Didn't realize the previous promo had LESS participating properties... This promo's list of NON participating properties is pretty massive if you ask me!

Perfect for my US and CAN 1Q travel. I would be bummed if I had any Asia travel. Great to see the non participating list is getting smaller ^^

I also got the "already registered" message. Very odd.

If I prepaid for a three night stay three weeks ago, do I get triple points on that amount?

Might be worthwhile looking into a prepaid Mastercard to hit that other promo. Or just sign up for something like the Citibank AA MC.

Decent promo compared to years past. I'm just happy that The Joule, W Dallas and Westin Galleria are ALL IN! ^

Yet for some reason Aloft Las Colinas is not...
