SPG Triple Benefits: a trio of tasty treats - restaurant and bars promo
http://www.spgrestaurantsandbars.com/triplebenefits
well,... mostly it is 100 additional points if 3 or more people...
we are usually only 2 so this benefit is worth nothing to me...
additional 10% on return visit is ok but also not that awesome....
best benefit i see is a complementary glass of wine *_*
any restaurant with a nice benefit ?
i only checked restaurants in Germany and Thailand so far..

Just saw this on the St. Regis Doha's website, it seems most benefits it's for either three or four persons dining.

Do you have to register? I am not sure how you get the benefit. Do you just have to know?

I see several attempts from SPG to get a restaurant loyalty program but everytime I have tried using it, the staff was very confused or did not know about it!

Actually at the Sheraton Tokyo Bay and noticed the promo displayed prominently at their restaurant. So might have some luck if others follow suit. Figured it was a hotel specific promo but I guess not.

But there are some gems out there, the waiter at Grand Bretagne took our spg-card with no questions asked, the discount was applied and spg points were posted two days later.

Just to add that the 100 bonus points is per person, so you'd get a minimum of 300.

St Regis Singapore, LaBrezza:
I received a promotional SPG email few minutes before having a dinner at LaBrezza. Benefits highlighted on the website:
"- Tasteful savings. Enjoy 15% discount on food when you join us for lunch or dinner.
- Great comeback. Join us for a meal from July through September and get a chance to dine with us a second time with an additional 10% off your tab. Voucher valid through October 31, 2013.
- On the house. Raise your glass and enjoy a complimentary glass of house wine with your meal any day of the week. Cheers!"
Upon arrival one of the waiter said no such benefits are applicable. So I asked another one and he said it is either wine or bill. I took wine as I didn't want to argue too much but while requesting the bill, I asked for 15% discount and was told that I opted for wine hence no discount. I had to show him the website stating this benefit and after checking the waiter came back asking my SPG number (I had reservation at this restaurant beforehand as in-house guest). I told him the room number and he finally applied discount on final bill.
I didn't even intend to ask for 10% voucher as the food was mediocre and I definitely have no plans to come back (italian food prepared by Asians and Indians, no italian chief on site... go figure).
Anyway, just prepare for the hassle with this promo

Good thing I saw this post!
We're off to Los Cabos, MX next week and I'm hopeful to be able to take advantage of this promo as the hotel we're at is listed as participating!

Staff at St Regis Singapore got finally things sorted out for this promo. No more stupid questions and I was given what I should get:
- complimentary glass of wine
- 15% discount (although I had to ask for it upon getting the bill)
- 10% comeback voucher
In fact the lady who brought me the bill said at first that I could either choose wine or 10% comeback voucher but since I opted for wine, no voucher. She came back however apologising and brining comeback voucher as well. It is called triple delights after all, right?
Now reading T&C of the comeback voucher it says that:
"Offer cannot be used in conjunction with any other promotions, discounts, vouchers or loyalty program."
But triple delights highlight states:
"Great comeback. Join us for a meal from July through September and get a chance to dine with us a second time with an additional 10% off your tab. Voucher valid through October 31, 2013."
Does it mean dining next time I can get 15% + 10% off or just 15%?

Benefits are not the same everywhere...i'll spend several weeks in a resort where the first benefit is a 10% discount on food (good!), the second one is a discount at the spa when you dine with 3 or more guests (we usually do a couple of times...not bad), and the third one looks a bit confusing:
1, 2, 3, free. Keep it coming. Purchase three main course items and the fourth is our treat
Does it mean the benefit is only valid in we take more than 3 main courses in the same meal (so again we shoud be at least a party of four), or is it acumulative during our stay....? Could please a lurker or someone clarify this? (I'm pretty sure they will have no idea at the restaurants, so it's better if I can tell them....)
