Bonusing: The bonus Starpoints will post to the registered member's account within two [2] to four [4] weeks after the eligible stay posts.
Eligible stays and nights: An eligible stay is defined as one or more consecutive nights paying an eligible rate in the same hotel or resort, regardless of the number of check-ins or checkouts that occur, and posting to the registered member’s Starwood Preferred Guest account.

Note that certain prepaid room reservations — such as when the booking is made through a third party, including but not limited to travelocity.com, expedia.com, orbitz.com and delta.com — are not considered eligible rates and do not earn Starpoints or qualify for promotional earnings. Stays must be booked through any Starpoints-eligible channel, which includes a travel professional who books through those channels or the GDS. Stays will be processed for the promotion in the order they post to the registered member's account.

Then link your SPG status to Marriott (if you haven't already), and use the Marriott promo which is exactly the opposite, in that it rewards 1-night stays and penalizes multi-night stays.

Agree it's a nice promo, but the opt-outs are a worry, specifically HKG in my case, no Sheraton which I was considering for a stay.

I am unclear about the definition of an "eligible resort stay" for the 1500 points. Is this tied to the 2+ night promo requirement, or are single nights ok?

I kinda like this MR/SPG "complementary" bonus promo. If you have a short one night stay, go for a MR property, if you stay 2 or + nights, go for SPG.
And the SPG is unlimited during that period so it's good for those having multiple weekend stays. Those are the ones I do usually, Fri/Sat nights all over the place.
Good that some Design Hotels (33) are participating as well, but not the ones I usually stay at. Maybe more will join at a later period?

Thus, those of us that are trying to max out status w/SPG are shut out of the MR promo in essence.

Just to clarify my stupid question, but the additional 1500 points is added per stay simply if you are a cardholder? So my current booking coming up which was purchased with my Citi Prestige would still net me the 1500 as I also hold a SPG Personal CC?

- Payment with an SPG Credit Card is not required.
- An eligible stay is defined as one or more consecutive nights paying an eligible rate in the same hotel or resort, regardless of the number of check-ins or checkouts that occur, and posting to the registered member’s Starwood Preferred Guest account. An eligible night is defined as at least one night paying an eligible rate in the earning period. An eligible rate is any rate that is eligible to earn Starpoints in the Starwood Preferred Guest program.
So, my interpretation is if you are paying an eligible rate then you would earn the 1,500 bonus Starpoints regardless of your method of payment. If your prepaid rate, paid with your Citi Prestige, was booked through a Starwood channel, then it would qualify. However, if your prepaid rate was paid to Citi or booked/paid through a Citi reward program then that rate would not be an eligible rate as it would be treated as a third-party prepaid rate.
