I did some checking, and the notice was not in an email, but in Tim Winship's Frequent Flyer newsletter. It seemed pretty clear that I had to register for the promo.
So, googling up spg promos, I found it, registered, and just got the confirming email. So, I should be good. |
I think I'm still unclear, so please indulge me:
In order to get the 500 points, I have updated my Profile. But do I also have to BOOK a reservation, or is it enough that I just registered for the More for You promo? So, will I get the 500 points if I: 1) updated my Profile 2) registered for the Promo 3) but did NOT book a reservation/stay during this timeframe? |

So, will I get the 500 points if I: 1) updated my Profile 2) registered for the Promo 3) but did NOT book a reservation/stay during this timeframe? The T&Cs of the promo are very clear on this (emphasis added): My Stay Preferences bonus: Registered members are eligible to receive 500 bonus Starpoints when updating the members spg.com profile online between October 15, 2014 and December 15, 2014. Updates made prior to registration are eligible, but only if the update falls within October 15 to December 15, 2014. The bonus will post to the registered member's account 2-4 weeks after the end of the promotion period. All members who are registered for the More For You promotion are eligible for the My Stay Preferences bonus regardless of whether they have an eligible booking in the promotion. |
Points just posted. ^

Just went to check - ours did too!
I love when a company under-promises and over-delivers - good job! |
Good job is right! Just got mine as well.
|
The More For You promotion, with this extra 500 points, earned me almost 10K extra points this month!

500 points posted
Just got my 500 points. All smiles here.

Same here. ;)

Sure, I like the ability to add preferences, and an extra 500 Starpoints for doing so is nice, but I should be able to select a preference for a higher floor and to be away from the elevator. It shouldn't matter what status someone is for them to select preferences like these, as preferences are not guarantees.
Starwood may as well offer preference options for warm pillows and wet blankets. That being said, always nice to have 500 points added to my and Mrs. B's accounts. That's more than I get for some stays! |
No points for either me or Mr. Fink yet :(
I even tried to repeat the process and got the message that we were already registered. I made another small change and will hope the points eventually post. |

Points are in, clearly marked. I almost mistook them for a triple crave spend, which has yet to post... again.
|
Both my wife's and my bonus appeared in our accounts yesterday. I updated Oct 15 and she updated hers Nov 12.
|
My points posted today, too!
|
I updated the last 3-4 days and it has not posted.
|
Like all promos, they may do it in batches.

Well, according to the T&Cs, the bonus Starpoints will post to the registered member's account 2-4 weeks after the end of the promotion period.

Looks like there was another sweep in the last couple of days per the thread in the Miles Buzz forum.

I just contacted the SPG via Mail with the Question about my missing 500 Points and they replied, this Promo was only valid in Combination with a Stay.
I can not read anything about this - am I misinformed? What should I tell them to get the Points? |

No, you don't need a stay for earning the points. What you needed to do is register for the last promo of last year.
But, as the Points did not post in my Account, I contacted the SPG-Customer Service. And they replied, that I am correctly signed up for the Promo, BUT the Points were only awarded, if a Stay was booked along the way. So again: What shall I do? Does anybody still have a Screenshot of this Promotion? |

Does anybody still have a Screenshot of this Promotion? https://www.spgpromos.com/moreforyou...RYOU_PROMOTION Here's the relevant section and I've bolded the relevant condition. It is pretty cut and dry and there should be no questions at all assuming a) you signed up for the More For You promotion and b) you updated your Stay Preferences sometime between 10/15 and 12/15.
