Not valid for Europeans? I have a night booked at Russel on the 3rd of November but I would really consider to switch if I could earn an extra 1000 points.

Yeah but the 1000 online booking bonus can be considered something seperate but no room base promo..
So 1000 pt hotel/1000 online/500 plat amenity=2500 pt
2nd visit 1500 pt hotel/1000 online/500 plat=3000 pt
3rd visit 2500 pt hotel/1000 online/500 plat=4000 pt
If we could get the rate down to $60-100 we have the insideflyer promo :-)

Personally, I would not find an extra 5,000 points to be adequate incentive to ever stay in this hotel.

Ditto from me. Even a free room there would not be persuasion enough.

actually you are right... however if the rate was low enough I would checkin/checkout simply for the pts and stay credit.
Sad but true about the state of the Sheraton NY

Now can anyone find the cheapest rate for sheraton ny. i remember last yr some rates were $99..
If so $300 for 9500 starpoints, 3 stay credits is decent especially for those trying to do requalification!
Inside flyer was 10k for $240. However Sheraton NY if u dont stay there the nite u still get buffet breakfast on weekend. So basically look as it as $60 is breakfast for 2 three times and appetizers at nite:-)
