Bonus Starpoint Offer is valid for eligible stays booked between February 17, 2014 and March 31, 2014 and completed between February 17, 2014 and May 17, 2014.
A minimum stay of two eligible nights is required to qualify.
I have 2 more stays in May coming up which I'm still planning so those would definitely qualify. ^

Same question - I have got 15 nights booked with SPG and now the rates have gone up for some of the nights... Do I really have to cancel and rebook to get the bonus points? Thanks!!

A few more questions.
1.) Do I have to be a member of Virgin Airlines Frequent Flier program to participate in this promo?
2.) Are BRG stays booked and stayed during the promo time period eligible for the promo?

2) BRG stays have counted as eligible paid nights in all past promos. I see no reason why they would be excluded now, and no mention of such in the t&c.

1) no, check the t&c.
To participate in this Bonus Starpoint offer, Velocity members must register online at www.spg.com/velocity by March 31, 2014 and be a member of the Starwood Preferred Guest (“SPG”) Program. If Velocity member is not a member of the SPG Program, a free membership may be obtained at www.spg.com.
Another thing in the T&C is interesting

Hmm, the site did say, "Enjoy these benefits exclusively for Velocity members:"
Well, maybe the lurkers can find out for us.

Yeah, at worse I'll just sign up for the Velocity Frequent Flier program which is free. But I would like to know if its required (I rather not sign up for the program if I don't have to).
The T&C for
Implies it can't be combined with Bring On The Nights. I'm guessing if you are registered for Bring On the Nights, then this promo would apply from May 1 (after Bring on the Nights expires) to May 17.

You need a valid Australian address to sign up for the Velocity ff program. So if that's required, not many will be able to join.
Also, don't understand why SPG doesn't email us first re these promos. I am an SPG Ambassador level... and yet I find out about these promos from blogs and FT first. Makes no sense.

I think because they were supposed to be targeted. If this would have been done properly, the signup form would've asked for the ffp membership #.

So do you need to be a Velocity Member to register?
In order to be a Velocity Member, you need to have a residential address in the Oceania.
If anyone is successful in registering without being a Velocity member (or at least not using a residential address in the Oceania), pls report.
