Wow its gonna be be a very long time till I next step into a *W prop
I dont see the promo as anything to get worked up about. An extra 10k for 10 nights is worthless to me. Every yr till now had a much better offer, that resulted in more Pts or stay credit.

Being new and still learning I was hoping that the 2x stay credit was sort of a given. Hmmmm. I was hoping the several weeks of vacation this year might get us to platinum. Otherwise I'll definately be staying at other resorts/hotels. Considering the current economic climate I'd thought hotels would be doing everything they could to attract business.....
My 2c on the issue.

Unless there are other promos I don't see having many stays on Starwood properties during the 1st quarter.

I have 3 nights stay between between Jan 1 - 7... Too bad the promotion doesn't cover that period.
First quarter is going to be weak for me and I will wait for 2nd quarter for better promo. I am normally a 1 - 2 nighters. Maybe less hotel hopping but looking at a total of stays will be 2 - 3.
I will delay my optional trips to see if better stay promotions come in 2nd quarter.

Many thanks for the advance notice, certainly most appreciated!Just to make sure I understand this correctly: As long as I sign up for the promo, it will also apply to nights already booked now that fall into the 01/07-04/30 window?

Thanks for the warning, this is really appreciated - a real treat for 30-nights-in-a-four-points customers 
.
However, I wanted to give you the opportunity to adjust your forecasts: My 20 stays/26 nights in Q4 will go down to 10 nights in Q1. IHG will get another 15 nights to make the most out of their current promo.

This is a nice promo from *wood. Maybe it won't help some people here, but it will help out others. Nice going *wood.

I don't recall an SPG double stays offer for the beginning of 2008. I took advantage of the Hyatt Double Stays promo for Jan-Mar 2008.
If 2009 hotel scene is as bad as the forecasts, then expect double stays later in 2009; possibly targeted to former elites. Most of the SPG double stay offers over the years were targetted. As SPG Platinum I received a targeted 2008 summer double stays. I had no SPG elite qualifying stays between January and June 2008.
I am looking forward to another wonderful year of hotel stays as Platinum with Starwood.
