I Had Stays At All 9, But Only A Points Redemption At The Element. Not Seeing Anything In Earned Awards... Too Bad...

Very cool gesture by SPG
I was so close also with just one brand missing! In my case it was not Element but Aloft
Not so easy from New Zealand where there is no SPG at all

Lurkers?????
Lurkers,
Can you please let us know if this is would be offered to anyone, or if it is targeted? I'd go out of my way to find an Element for the 3 night bonus!

Can there be a better way of alienating your regular customers than to sneak in some "award" for something one has no clue is happening? And of course, for those who live in parts of the world where all brands are not present only skews this further. Stealth may be fine in war but it sucks in the marketing world! If you're having a promotion, let us know about it!

Nice promo! I, amazingly, missed this because I didn't stay at the St. R. last year. I have stays at two St. R's this year.
