The terms state that this offer would be available for Thursday to Sunday arrivals, but many hotels appear to be offering it 7 days a week.
You can access this offer on SPG’s website here.
After you choose the state and/or the city, you get the grid that shows when the discount is available:

Canada actually has provinces not states, we’re not part of the USA
Absolutely and I will be visiting those two provinces again next month.
I thought John was making a joke suggesting USA is one state and Canada another..then I retread it..haha
I grew up near Ottawa ..generally I find the idea of a Locals rate very interesting. I know when I was in Hawaii recently they had a local dining rate and hotel rate for Hawaiians. any other chains do this type of thing?
Locals hotel rates and discounts are prevalent in Hawaii. They are available in some countries as well such as Thailand.
