SPG50 Award overview on spg.com:
https://www.starwoodhotels.com/prefe...em/50_off.html
T&Cs:

"50% Off Award is subject to availability; advance reservations required. Callers must advise they are using a 50% Off Award and request Rate Plan ID: SPG50 when making reservations. The number and type of rooms offered may be limited and black-out dates may apply. 50% Off Award may not apply to suites at all hotels."
"Most, but not all, Starwood Preferred Guest participating hotels participate in the 50% Off Award."
Can someone explain the following statement in the T&Cs? Is this meant to say that a single SPG50 certificate can be used for an unlimited number of nights at SVO properties if availability of the SPG50 rate plan exists?"Most, but not all, Starwood Preferred Guest participating hotels participate in the 50% Off Award."
"At Sheraton Vacation Resorts and Westin Vacation Resorts, the 50% Off Award length of stay requirements may vary. Please call for specific requirements. However, only one certificate is required regardless of how many nights a guest is eligible to stay at Vacation Resorts."

I think it means that if the resort says the limit is two nights, you need one for each two nights. If they say the limit is 10 nights, you need one for each 10 nights.

Sheraton Mirage Port Douglas. IMHO, Their best value is to use them for an upgraded room.

How do you get multiple SPG50? I only get one when renewing my AmEx every year.

Yes. We are travelling in November 2010. SPG50 for 6 nights. I was even able to combine it with my Platinum amex FHR amenities. I had a difficult time deciding on the St. Regis or the Four Seasons in Bora Bora, but the St. Regis accomodating me with both programs gave it the edge>

I believe that is the stated benefit, but several years ago, I was able to use one for 6 nights at the Sheraton Hacienda del Mar in Cabo. May be a YMMV situation?

I believe it is 1000 pts for every 5 night stay for the SPG 50 % off rate.
No problem.....2000 pts for 6 nights works for me.

Can the SPG50 coupons be used in combination with the recent 2 night/3rd free benefit for SPG Amex cardholders?
Thanks in advance!
