I had that same problem also. What happened was that the key expired and needed to be resent to your device.

If the 2,500 bonus Starpoints don't post by March 4th, we are glad to follow up.


Checked in today at the Element Miami Doral and hoped to get the points only to find out that I can't do keyless because I had 3 rooms on my reservation! Seriously? Due to the three rooms I am not showing on the hotels list to give me the Keyless entry.
I'm sorry if you were unaware, but the FAQ for using SPG Keyless is very clear that only one room can be on a reservation for it to be able to work:

Can I use SPG Keyless on all my stays?
Only stays that meet the following criteria are eligible to use SPG Keyless:
•Member must have an SPG number, a valid credit card and a registered mobile device.
•Reservation must be for only one room.
•Reservation must be made through Starwood booking channels, such as websites, mobile websites, the SPG app and the Customer Care Center.



They can't figure this freaking thing out and I guess I'm not getting 2500 points after trying at 2 hotels during the promotional period...
I'm sorry, but I don't share your pessimism regarding this. If the four-week period for your stay at the Element Frankfurt Airport passes and the 2,500 Starpoints haven't been credited, feel free to let us know.

Is it required to sign up for the program via the www.spgpromos.com url in the main post?

I'm getting a "program expired" message

So, I called in last Wednesday since it had been 4 weeks since checkout on my keyless stay. The CS rep I spoke with said something interesting - she said the 4 weeks was from the date regular points for the stay posted to my account, which was several days after checkout. Said if the did not show up on their own by today, she would manually post them.

Not sure what happened but they posted sometime today. Might have posted on it's own, might have been manually posted by the CS rep or some other *wood employee or less likely, they might have posted from a subsequent keyless stay with a check out yesterday.

I was having issues with keyless working on Saturday and the hotel told me the system was undergoing maintenance. Maybe they sorted out some of the bugs.

Don't really care which, just glad to have my points.

I suggest you read the wiki (use a browser instead of the mobile app).

The promo ended on February 29, 2016.

Would you be able to send us an email to [email protected]?

We can review your account and determine if you have a stay that would have qualified if you had registered yesterday.

Thanks

It looks like they batch post. I checked out of the same property on Feb 21 and the bonus also posted today.

I checked out on 28th Feb and just got my 2500 bonus points posted. ^;)

Promo : 2,500 bonus Starpoints for one Keyless stay which is paid with Amex
 
Must be a batch post- my points from Valentine's weekend at W Seattle posted today. :cool:
The promo worked as it got me to try something I typically wouldn't have. The one thing I'm unclear on is whether using keyless reduces your chances of an upgrade.

Curious about others' experience

The 2500 points were a nice consolation prize. The early arrival of our granddaughter in December made us scuttle plans that would have completed the "visit all the brands" promo- we were so close !

I used Keyless at Aloft Ontario-Rancho Cucamonga on February 14-15. I still have not received my 2,500 Keyless bonus points.

As a datapoint, I used Keyless at the Aloft in Sunnyvale on that weekend also, and the 2500 keyless points posted yesterday.
