Just curious,
Why are the points better than the nights? 3 nights cost more than 18,000 points, right?

This was the full address of the landing page:
www.spgpromos.com/quarterly/index.cfm?EM=VTY_SPG_promo_promotion
But I got there by typing in www.spg.com/promo. I typed in my spg number and received the choice of the 2 promos. Perhaps try again later - and good luck!

The nights are weekend nights and not everyone wants weekend nights. I, on the other hand, would jump at 3 weekend nights over 18K points most anytime. Keep in mind, this time around the free weekend nights are good at CAt 1-5 properties!!!!! That was a nice surprise!

Got triple points from June 1 to Aug 31. Oh well. I guess SPG figured out that I am a lost cause now anyways. Thanks for the heads up.

Got a choice between the 3 weekend nights offer or the 4K, 12K, 20K offer. I took the 3 weekend nights because (if I can hit all 12 stays) I've got Zurich and Amsterdam in this year's travel plans.

No choice, just the one to earn 3,000, 9,000 or 18,000 bonus
Starpoints when you stay three, six or nine times between
June 1 and August 31, 2007. Works for me, as I'll be doing several stays over the summer anyways.
Am hoping for a double-stay-credit one soon..but not holding my breath.

Sure.....after evaluating the offers, the free nights are probably a better deal......and now that I think about it, I probably could have made use of them before the end of the year.
Oh well.......
One thing I couldn't tell from the T&Cs.....is it the arrival date that counts?
i.e. stays with either a May 31st arrival or June 1st checkout won't count.....but one with an August 31st arrival does even if the checkout date is in September?
Or does the entire stay have to take place within the promo period?
i.e. earliest checkin being June 1st......last day to checkout being August 31st.
Inquiring minds want to know.....

Got the same offer and with a little consideration took the free weekend nights. I didn't think I would use them before year end, but I'm going to throw in a trip before the end of the year to burn these nights.
