Is this promotion only for SPG Business AMEX cardholders?
Per the promotion terms and landing page, no. Some people who received the promotional email with wording that indicated it was for SPG Business AMEX cardholders.

Are there any restrictions?
This promotion is limited to US-based SPG AMEX cardholders only. Sorry Canada.

1,000 Bonus Starpoints Promotion
Earn 1,000 bonus StarpointsŪ for 2 eligible night stays at Starwood hotels and resorts for US SPGŪ American Express Card Members.

To be eligible for this offer, the Card Member must register at http://www.spgpromos.com/amexuspromo by August 30, 2015, 11:59 p.m. EDT and complete the two (2) eligible night stays between July 30, 2015 and August 30, 2015 (the "promotion period"). Card Member can earn a maximum of 1,000 bonus Starpoints after two (2) eligible night stays during the promotion period, which are not required to be consecutive nights. This promotion is not transferable. Bookings made prior to the promotion period are eligible, but only eligible stays consumed during the promotion period will earn a bonus. This promotion is limited to one per Starwood Preferred GuestŪ member account number.

An eligible stay is a stay with at least 1 eligible paid night at any of the over 1,200 participating Starwood hotels and resorts paying an eligible paid rate during the promotion period. Eligible nights do not need to be consecutive. An eligible rate is any rate that is eligible to earn Starpoints in the Starwood Preferred GuestŪ program. Free Night Awards and Cash & Points Award nights are not eligible toward promotional Starpoints earnings. A listing of SPG-participating hotels and resorts and a description of eligible stays and eligible rates can be found at spg.com under the program terms and conditions. See Section 1.4 for the complete definition of eligible rates, but note that certain prepaid rooms where the booking is made through a third party (including but not limited to travelocity.com, expedia.com and booking.com) are not eligible rates and do not earn Starpoints or qualify toward promotional earnings.

Bonus Starpoints will be credited to the member's account within 2–4 weeks of the stay posting to the member's Starwood Preferred GuestŪ account following the first and second eligible stays.

This promotion may be combined with other Starpoints promotions in market during the same time; however, earnings are exclusive of each other.

All promotions are subject to the Starwood Preferred GuestŪ program terms and conditions, which are subject to change without notice and can be found at spg.com. Offer is applicable to individual members only and not to groups. Not responsible for omissions or typographical errors. Starwood reserves the right to discontinue this offer at any time.

Was able to register three people--1 business card and 2 personal cards with no problem. The terms just state SPG AMEX--not just limited to business AMEX.

Done deal

This is the way promotions should work. Stayed 3 nights in Rome, IT August 2-5 and I've already seen the 1000 points deposited. Still waiting for my 500 "keyless" points from the W in Boston.

What's the difference lurkers?

Hi pageboy,

Bonus Starpionts of different promotions may not be posted in the same manner.

If it has been over 4 weeks since your stay at W Boston Hotel & Residences posted to your account, please provide your SPG account number to us via private mail here or by email below and we will look into the missing bonus points for your Keyless offer.

Best Regards,

This is truly an odd promo– it requires the guest to be a SPG AMEX cardholder, however nowhere in the T&C does it require any actual use of the AMEX card to pay for the hotel or anything else at all. Just to make sure, I deliberately did not use my AMEX and still got the points. Kind of silly, but not going to complain about the free points. A nice gesture to counterbalance a little bit of the annual fee.
