Summer Promos ???

Has anyone come across any summer promos aside from Cash & Points or the 2-day save 20%, 3-day (1 day free) etc types ? I'm thinking of non-targeted promos. It seems like many end in June . I'm relatively new to SPG - is this a normal trend or are there usually some "summer goodies" to be on the watch for ?

Thanks !

You got the stay 3 get 4000 bonus points with any stay at a Four Point property. Can be repeated 3 times for a maximum of 12000 bonus points. I'm writing from a different computer than mine, so can't find the link. However I'm sure a search would get you to a post where the link is. The promo ends in June and is open to all SPG members.

Not quite

That's so incorrect.

Staying 3 times at a Four Points property earns someone 2 free weekend nights at a Category 1 property. Categories, as we've been told, does not fully reflect the quality of a property, just their rating scale.

The 4000 points could also be used for 1 free night at a Category 2 property.

1 or 2 free nights is far cry from turning up our noses at this offer.

This is a good promotion.

Last part offended not necessary for the discussion.

"This is a good promotion."

Stated as if that is a fact. Try again. .

Thanks for the info on the 4 Pts promo (most here hopefully were already aware of it) but again, the promo ends in June. I'm still hunting for summer promos (July/August) but I'm not sure that *Wood usually has summer offerings...

true...but, starwood hasn't really been competitive with hyatt, etc. in quite some time. but, i guess they don't need to be. they are doing well without being competitive on the promo front.

The 4000 points earned by staying at a Four Points three times, can be used to stay twice a category 1 property on a weekend. Those properties require only 2000 points for a free weekend night.

Can you use points for this offer? or does it have to be a paid stay?

If you can use points, then you can get 3 weekend nights for the price of 1 at a Cat 1.
