What qualifies as an eligible paid stay?

An eligible paid stay includes one or more nights at the same SPG Participating Hotel by an SPG Member who (a) provides his/her SPG Member number at the time of reservation or at check-in; (b) pays an eligible rate that earns Starpoints as defined by the terms and conditions of the SPG program (spg.com/t&c); and (c) stays in one of the reserved guest rooms. If an SPG Member checks out of a guest room and then checks back in to a guest room at the same SPG Participating Hotel on the same day, it will count as a single stay for purposes of calculating stays.

What qualifies as an eligible paid night?

An eligible paid night includes at least one night paying a qualifying rate at a participating SPG Participating Hotel during the earning period.

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 bonus 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.

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 SPG Member will not receive bonus Starpoints for any part of the stay.

If I check in before the earning period begins or check out after the earning period ends, but some of my stay is in the earning period, does my stay earn the bonus?

Yes, as long as one night of the eligible stay is within the earning period, bonus Starpoints will be earned (even if part of the stay falls outside the earning period).

[Top]

When will the bonus Starpoints post to my account?

The bonus Starpoints will post to the registered SPG Member's account within two to four weeks of each eligible paid stay posting. Please note: Not all bonuses will post at the same time.

Will I earn stay and night credits toward elite status?

An SPG Member will earn stay and night credits as he/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.

Finally got points, but we stayed in 2 rooms both in my name and I only got 1x points.
Can anyone confirm if we can get points for up to 3 rooms per stay?

My missing points posted very early this morning. My first eligible stay (in Asia) had a checkout date of September 18th.

I've been trying to register for this promo since it was announced (trying every week), but every time I attempt to register the website returns an HTTP 500 error (Internal Server Error). I've tried switching browsers, Incognito/InPrivate browsing, mobile browser, and still, same error. Has anyone faced this, and have a working solution to allow registration?

Thanks!

All the 1k bonuses posted yesterday and my dashboard is updated today. It says I have earned the 10k bonus but that has not posted as yet!

That said now a very dull few months with SPG with a 1k bonus per stay and nothing else to aim for! Might be time to try out the competition I am thinking

Yes, you should get the bonus for each room in your stay. Sometimes they won’t post if the property rolls the whole bill into a single room at checkout, but I’ve never had any problems having that issue corrected by SPG.
