I don't seem to be having much luck with this. I go to the site, fill in my SPG number and email address, click "Go", get a blue circly spinner thing for a second or so, then nothing. No errors, no subsequent screens, nothing...

Exactly the same for me

And me, Firefox

It doesn't work with a VPN into the US either, which I tried as UK members seem to be having the problem.

That's not entirely correct. The prize list is :

  • 195 Free Night Awards available for any SPG-participating Category 1-5 hotel or resort. Approximate Retail Value (ARV) is US$145.00.
  • Starpoints® Award: 390 Awards available. 500 Starpoints: ARV US$12.50; 1,000 Starpoints: ARV US$25.00; 5,000 Starpoints: ARV US$125.00.
  • iTunes® US$50.00 Gift Card: 156 Awards available. Prize only available to U.S. residents with a mailing address in the U.S.
  • $50.00 Ticketmaster Cash Code: 975 Awards available. Prize only available to U.S. residents.

This has to be one of the most convoluted promotions ever run. How many Starpoints prizes are available ? 390 each of 500, 1,000 and 5,000 ? Or 390 in total ?

Interesting, too, that the stated Starpoints ARV's don't match SPG's own retail prices for the same.

Works OK for me, from the UK, using IE11.

I've taken my 2 world spins for today and haven't won. It seems to be an unfortunate feature of the software that it then lets you keep on spinning : they haven't bothered with a "you've already had your spin quota today" message.

Woot, it has (at some point in the last two hours) now started working for me!

(Admittedly 2 hours ago I was using the office internet connection, and I'm now at a Starwood hotel using the internet there, but I suspect that's not the deciding change...)

I think I entered every day the last couple years of these. Never won.

I am still getting this message. I cleared out the cache/history. Am I doing something wrong?
