This is a very interesting promotion. The marketing talk states that if you do a stay that begins between Thursday and Saturday and book three nights, you will only pay for two – as long as you pay for them…
Element Vaughn review
A quick intermission from my trip report to review the new Element brand from Starwood. Although I had to go to Toronto for the week, I decided that since I’m Starwood Platinum anyway, I should make the effort to stay…
SPG Aeroplan fall promo is here!
I love it when they do this – they do not force you to choose one promo over the other. So the SPG Aeroplan promo gets you 9,000 points when you stay five nights – on top of the Take Two…
SPG Take Two is here!
The fall SPG promo is here! Double Starpoints on all stays from Sep 1 to Dec 15. 2,500 bonus points on every 5 nights (up to 20 nights / 10,000 points). Pretty good promo, although not as good as the…
Starwood SPG points devaluation
Looks like it’s hotel re-valuation season. I posted earlier about the Starwood Cash and Points devaluation; now it seems Starwood regular points have been devalued, as well. Hurry before March 5th to redeem your points, as that’s when the rates…
New SPG American Express point promo until April 11, 2013
Looks like for 2013, Amex has increased the points available for new SPG cards to 20,000 (from the previous 10,000). This is VERY good. See my earlier post on cash & points changes, which isn’t as good, but SPG points…
SPG Cash & Points changes
SPG Cash & Points has been one of the better programs to date – offering the opportunity to stretch SPG points to get higher value redemptions – and some of them have been very attractive. It’s not that it’s coming…
Additional Starwood+Aeroplan promo!
A new Starwood+Aeroplan promo is up. It isn’t as lucrative as the one that was around last December (get 5,000 points for hotels – and get another 3,000 on top if at least 3 nights are in Canada), but this…
Starwood promo is up! 18,000 points for 20 nights
The Starwood promo is up! It’s unfortunately not as exciting as it could be, as it’s “only” 18,000 points – I rather preferred the triple points that December brought (by paying for several people in one shot, I accumulated 29,000…
Starwood January Promo
The Starwood first quarter promo is up: http://spg.com/powerup. Register in early January; 2,000 bonus points after 4 nights, up to 16 nights this way, and 10,000 bonus points once you get to 16. Not awesome like the “better by the…
