Promo: SPG Hear the Music 2013 - $50 Ticketmaster Cash / 3 Stays and more

I'm shocked that not one of the Lurkers mentioned this:

There are even more ways to participate in Hear the Music, See the World this year. Be sure to register:

Earn a $50 Ticketmaster Cash code for every three nights you stay with SPG between April 5 and May 5, 2013. Codes are unlimited.

Get a $10 Ticketmaster Cash code for one hotel check-in on Foursquare® between April 5 and May 5. Link your SPG and Foursquare accounts and get ready to cash.in.*

Win an all expense paid music trip via "Throwback Thursday" on Instagram.
Each Thursday through May 2, tag your favorite "livin'-the-spglife" photo with #spglife and #tbt for your chance to attend your choice of one of our nine events.— hotel & airfare included.
REGISTER HERE: http://www.spg.com/hearthemusic

NOTE: The T+C make this promo way less generous than it seems, but free is still free, so ^^^ for the gap promo.

Promotion terms and conditions:

Earning: Starwood Preferred Guest® members must register online at spg.com/hearthemusic between April 5, 2013, and May 5, 2013, midnight ET (the "Promotion Period") to receive the benefits of the Hear the Music, See the World & promotion (the "Promotion"). Members can earn one (1) $50 Ticketmaster® Cash code (the "Code") for every three (3) eligible nights booked at participating Starwood hotels or resorts from April 5, 2013 through May 5, 2013 (nights do not need to be consecutive and are unlimited within the Promotion Period). All hotel stays must be completed by May 5, 2013.

Foursquare Check-in Bonus: Registered members of the Hear the Music, See the World promotion in the United States are eligible to earn one (1) $10 Code for one (1) SPG Social Check-in on Foursquare® during an eligible confirmed reservation within the Promotion Period. A member must have his or her SPG account linked to his or her Foursquare account in order to receive the $10 Code (visit spg.com/socialcheckins to link your accounts). Members must register for the Promotion and link his or her accounts before checking in on Foursquare in order to receive the $10 Code. Only one (1) SPG Social Check-in on Foursquare check-in per member per eligible stay will be awarded the $10 Code. SPG Social Check-in bonuses are eligible at all properties that participate in the SPG program. This offer is subject to the SPG Social Check-In Program Terms found at spg.com/foursquareuserterms.

Awarding of Ticketmaster® cash code: Each $50 Ticketmaster® Cash code earned during the Promotion Period will be delivered via email to the email address provided at promotion registration, approximately 5-7 days after the Promotion Period closes. Each $10 Ticketmaster® Cash code earned with an eligible Foursquare check in will be delivered to the email address provided at promotion registration, within 2-3 days after the check in posts.

Expiration Date: Ticketmaster® Cash code(s) expire December 31, 2013.

Eligible Nights: An eligible night is a night at any of the over 1,100 SPG-participating hotels and resorts paying an eligible rate during the Promotion Period. Nights do not have to be consecutive and can be accumulated across multiple stays. An eligible rate is any rate that is eligible to earn Starpoints in the Starwood Preferred Guest program. SPG-participating hotels and resorts and a description of eligible stays and eligible rates can be found at spg.com under program terms and conditions. See Section 1.4 b iii for the complete definition of eligible rates, but note that certain prepaid rooms where the booking is made through a third party (including but not limited to travelocity.com, expedia.com and orbitz.com) are not eligible rates and do not earn Starpoints or qualify toward promotional earnings.

Offer is applicable to individual members only and not to groups. Not responsible for omissions or typographical errors. Starwood reserves the right to discontinue this offer at any time.

I doubt it will be up right away seeing that you need three nights to get a code; and $50 codes will not arrive until AFTER the promo period. YMMV.

Hmmmm - This should mean four $50 discounts in the next month. Seems much better than what I'll get out of the double points promo.

I am concerned about the "select events" qualifier, and it's probably not godd on the various pre-sales that I often use at Ticketmaster. Still, better than not having it.

Or a free calculator to keep tabs on all the points one traveller could earn in a given trimester.

Of course I didn't see this thread, and didn't receive the email until I was already 2 nights in. That will put me 1 night short of a 4th voucher by the end of this promo. Time will tell if these are worth much (i.e easily redeemed for most events, or very restrictive).

Does this promo require that nights occur after registration, unlike the usual SPG convention that registering before the deadline means that all nights/stays during the promo period count? I don't see that restriction in the T&C, but maybe I'm missing some details here.

I discovered this promo as I was on my way out of an SPG property, so not sure. Lurkers?
