23 stays/30 nights to date. 2stays/5nights due to credit card. Many award/cash+points stays.
I had 50+ nights last year; mostly paid.

Did not receive promo; link didn't work for me. I'll just get my 2 more stays for the year to barely qualify for Plat - even if I have to do a mattress run.

I don't remember the Me Too promo as being a select member exclusive. I don't remember being able to register, but maybe because I was targeted by SME promos. Was there a thread for that promo?
When i tried this link, it says i've already registered....to this promo.

Member can save 25% on a future Starpoints redemption after their sixth (6th) eligible paid stay from October 1, 2015, through December 31, 2015

Hmm..
Not complaining because i managed to complete 12th stay promo during the mid year, amass a great amount of points from hotel hopping (hard work, but yeah it's the only way for me to collect points) and most of the time i prefer to do paid stays.

Haven't been targeted for any promos this year at all.

And no, I don't include the lame Sheraton one. Until the Sheratons get properly renovated, they are not a pleasant experience in my travels.

As a result, I am spreading the love more this year, with Marriott, Hyatt and even IHG.

69 stays/102 nights YTD

7 stays = 7000
14 = +7000
21 = +7000

Gold 11 stays/43 night YTD

Not to sound ungrateful, but completely useless. Similar to my last targeted offer.

I would love to have this offer, but SPG marketing has parameters to target people who don't want these promos.

Wish I had an MBA too. Maybe then I would understand.

I didn't get an e-mail but was able to register through the link posted earlier in the thread ( https://www.spgpromos.com/selectmemberexclusive5/ ) - and I'm in for:
4,000 *points for 4 nights
8,000 *points for 8 nights
12,000 *points for 12 nights

Will be able to fully utilize it, so I'm quite happy.

What bothers me is that even though my communication preferences are set to receive promotions/specials, etc. I never get them (they're not in the junk folder either).
This is the third time I am able to register for a "targeted" promo in the last 18 months not to mention promos like "Open the World" - I would never have known about them if it wasn't for FT.

I received this offer today at my registered email address.. good from 10/1 to 12/20... but there's a tiny catch.. it says:

"BECOME A STARWOOD PREFERRED GUEST MEMBER NOW.

Join SPG and youll be automatically registered to earn unlimited Starpoints with the SPG Stay for More global promotion."

Sadly as a LT, I don't qualify .

Yeah, I have seen that when a reservation was made for a non-member using my email address as a contact.

Has anyone successfully called in to change their offer? (similar to Marriott Megabonus)

I'll hit 100 nights tomorrow night, and the only offer I got today was about booking meetings at Starwood. Not shocked, I haven't been targeted in a long, long time.

Nothing for me either, 31 stays and 50 nights so far this year. I always have a lot of future stays booked so I wonder if that has something to do with never getting targeted.

I have shifted over 100 nights this year from SPG because I don't like not being targeted for promotions.

Guess they won't be getting very many of my Q4 stays either.

this offer would have been great for me....i have 13 stays currently booked for the rest of the year & i'll probably have another 4-5 more....i could have easily spread out all these stays to make them 21 stays in total....
