Earn Double Starpoints and Elite Status Faster
Just got this in an e-mail:
Through May 31, 2003, each of your stays will earn double Starpoints(SM) and count double toward earning or maintaining elite status. For example, now you can earn Gold status with only five stays during the promotion period, rather than the 10 normally required. Elite benefits include three Starpoints per dollar spent at our hotels and resorts (a 50% bonus), automatic room upgrades, 4 p.m. late checkout and more!
Doesn't sound targeted, but one never knows. My Gold status expires this month, but I have several hotel stays coming up...
