Has anyone that was able to successfully register for this promo #8 & had a stay at the beginning of June 2015 received their points yet?

I know it says up to 4 weeks but just wondering......

Thanks for the info. I checked out the 5th and registered the 6th and as of today no promo points for that stay.

They tend to post in batches. I have had 3 stays in the past 10 days and no bonus points have posted yet.

No worries , SPG is really good about giving you credit where credit is due

Just give it a few weeks and if nothing shows give them a call and they will get you the points on there appropriately.

I just saw this promo when I opened the Starwood app. It says stay 4 nights before 31 July and I'll get 3 nights at up to category 5 free. Is this as good a deal as I think it is? I can stay in a $70 four points in China 4 times and will then have 3 free nights at any category 5 worldwide? If that's true this is an awesome gift from Starwood!

Wait what? Stay 4 nights, get 3 free nights. Why don't I get any of these?!

To answer your question, it is an awesome gift. Actually it's the best one I've came across. But I'd suggest to read through the T&C's, I believe you have misread the promo because this is just too good to pass.

I read it again and it seems like my first reading was correct. Incredible deal! I never stay at SPG hotels but it looks like I'll have 4 cheap stays and 3 free stays at expensive hotels soon!

I just had my Make It Count points post with the points of my latest stay.

But haven't had anything else, though of course it's still early.

For the bonus points you received, what were they called? Since this promo doesn't seem to have a name besides "select member exclusive".

I never received a confirmation E-mail for the SME despite being registered. Further, I've never received points on any of my three stays in connexion with this promo. I'm wondering if my registration was a technical glitch and if I was even entitled to the latest promo. Hmm...

My email says:

SUBJECT: 5,000 Bonus Starpoints Ahead

Then the "Select Member Exclusive" logo

Then "Thanks for registering for this special offer. You’re all set to earn 1,000 bonus Starpoints® for each stay you book directly with us online — up to 5,000 bonus Starpoints.

That's nice. Still doesn't make up for the fact that I never actually received the E-mail, or the subsequent points despite being "registered" and having completed three stays within that promo period. I'm only left wondering whether I was entitled at all. That would prolly be the ultimate in burns. "amirite," margarita girl?

I'm in same boat as uxb. Still haven't received an email inviting me to sign up. I've had 2 stays post since June 1, and no bonus points. I just checked out this morning of a 3 night stay (X 3 rooms), so will see tomorrow if anything posts (in the way of bonus points).

Two stays so far and no bonus points have posted after 10 days and 5 days respectively. Both stays took place AFTER I registered for the promo.

Third stay coming Friday.

We shall see if the bonus points actually post.

I never got an invitation but I did get a confirmation after I registered.

P.S. Just completed my 80th night this year -- guess I'm not worth targeting!

Okay T&Cs says it should post within 4 weeks after stay. Let's wait and see.
