Can I book through a third party and earn bonus Starpoints?
Stays must be booked through any Starpoints-eligible channel, which includes a travel professional who books through those channels or the GDS. This is the only way to earn double Starpoints and get our best rates. Stays booked through prepaid, third-party channels — such as orbitz.com, expedia.com, travelocity.com, delta.com, etc. — are not eligible Rate Plans, so the member will not earn bonus Starpoints and will not qualify for the offer. A description of a Starpoints-eligible channel can be found at spg.com under the program terms and conditions, section 2.1.
How many Starpoints do I earn with double Starpoints?
With double Starpoints, a member will earn four (4) total Starpoints per eligible US$1 spent. Elite-level extra Starpoints earnings and other bonuses will not be doubled. Only the base two-Starpoints-per-dollar earnings are doubled. There is no limit on the number of total double bonus Starpoints a member can earn.
If part of my stay was reserved using a Free Night Award or SPG Cash & Points, will my stay qualify?
No. Stays booked with Free Night Awards or Cash & Points do not count as qualifying stays for this promotion. Even if part of the stay is reserved using an Award and part is paid, the member will not receive bonus Starpoints for any part of the stay.
If I check in before the Promotion Period begins, or check out after the Promotion Period ends, but some of my stay is in the Promotion Period, does my stay earn the bonus?
Yes. As long as one night of the stay is within the Promotion Period, bonus Starpoints will be earned on every night during the entire stay (even if part of the stay falls outside the Promotion Period).
When will double and bonus Starpoints post to my account?
Double and bonus Starpoints will post to the registered member's account within two to four weeks of each eligible paid stay posting. Please note the double Starpoints may post prior to the 250 Starpoints bonuses.
Will I earn stay and night credits toward elite status?
A member will earn stay and night credits as he or she normally does while earning Starpoints.
Can I take advantage of other bonus promotions at the same time?
Yes. However, each promotion earns bonuses independently of each other

Same here. Got 1250 points for 5 nights in HNL but no double pts.
What's interesting is my dashboard says I've earned 2048 pts with this promo. I figure I have another 1240 pts coming so not sure how to explain that number. The difference makes no sense (2048-1250=798). Guess all the glitches haven't been ironed out yet.

I'm the opposite. I got all my double points, but no 250 yet.
But maybe I'm not supposed to. At Le Centre Sheraton Montreal there were signs saying they participated in the 250 bonus points, but looking at the link above in the Wiki it does not list Montreal.
Oh well, at least a couple thousand worth of double points has posted.

The double points for four of my stays since the promo start (ending 1/14, 1/21, 1/28, 2/4) just posted. No points yet for my stay that ended 2/11.
Interestingly, My Dashboard isn't yet updated.

250 pts x 2 stays at participating properties posted yesterday, but not the 250 pts for a 2/11 checkout where the stay itself didn't post until this morning.
Double points for all stays, including the 2/11 checkout, posted maybe an hour ago. I actually noticed my points total refresh while I was on SPG.com making my March bookings.
I'm assuming the 250 pts for the 2/11 checkout will get picked up in the next sweep. Between this promo, the Plat75 bonus multiplier for Uber rides, and my current work taking me to NYC every other week, I'm actually doing quite well with SPG this quarter.

hehe FT is like the downforeveryoneorjustme of points posting. I was just checking the dashboard and wondering if the lack of points posting was just me or if it was going slow. Seems its just taking a bit so I'll wait patently
