Who got nothing?
Since people are sharing what they got, I thought it would be interesting to compare and contrast with those who go no targetted promo.
I've been dilligently checking my e-mail and snail mail, and thus far have drawn a blank, other than Justin's love letter about the post 1/1/04 terms.
I'm a U.S. based platinum who has stayed few times with SPG this year. I'm also a 29 year old white male with AB negative blood.
Who else got nothing, and what's your profile?

I am a lowly scum-of-the-earth-Gold.
Maybe as a Gold I don't EXPECT as much as you Plats in the way of promotions!!!
The only promo I received was the "spend $2,000 and get 2 free W/E nights" promo. Normally this would be un-usable for me with my 10-15 stays at *woods spread over a calendar year. But this promo dovetails with a two week business trip to Asia so I think I'll actually meke it.
Am I "bitter" about not getting a better promo or all other promos? No. Getting benefits was part of the agreement when I signed on to Starwood. The promise that I would be eligible for each and every promo Starwood offered was not.

Zip. Nada. Zilch.
Platinum status. 2 stays YTD. Obviously unlikely to be Plat next year.

Nada. 
SPG Gold (about halfway to Plat). And it's too bad, because point promotions have a heavy influence on how many stays I do in a given year (since my travel is 100% discretionary).

Let's me put it this way. If I got something it was not exciting because I can not think of anything. How is that for double talk?
