Conclusion

This promotion doesn’t work for me at all, but better for those that have long vacations planned for this time period.

Here are the terms and conditions of this offer:

Registration: SPG^® Members must register online at spg.com/stayformore by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time (ET) on December 6, 2015. Registered members can earn bonus Starpoints^® for each eligible stay of two or more nights between October 1, 2015, and December 20, 2015, (the “Promotion Period”) at participating Starwood hotels and resorts. A list of nonparticipating hotels and resorts can be found at spg.com/stayformore and is subject to change.

Earning: Registered SPG Members will earn double Starpoints on eligible stays of two or more nights, and double Starpoints plus 500 bonus Starpoints on eligible stays of three or more nights between October 1, 2015, and December 20, 2015. To view the complete list of hotels and resorts that are not participating in the promotion, visit spg.com/stayformore. Members who earn double Starpoints will earn an additional two (2) Starpoints per eligible US$1 spent (for a total of four [4] Starpoints per dollar spent). Elite-level extra Starpoints earnings and other bonuses will not be doubled. Only the base two-Starpoints-per-dollar earnings are doubled. There is no limit on the number of bonus Starpoints that can be earned during the promotion period. Offer is eligible with other Starpoints promotions; however, each offer will award bonus Starpoints independently of each other, and offers are not combinable.

Bonusing: Double and bonus Starpoints will post to the registered Member’s account within 2–4 weeks after the qualifying stay posts.

Eligible Stays: An eligible stay is defined as two or more consecutive nights paying an eligible rate in the same hotel, regardless of the number of check-ins or checkouts that occur, and posting to the member’s Starwood Preferred Guest^® account. An eligible rate is any rate that is eligible to earn Starpoints in the Starwood Preferred Guest program. A listing of SPG-participating hotels and resorts and a description of eligible stays and eligible rates can be found at spg.com under the program terms and conditions. See Section 2.1 for the complete definition of eligible rates. Note that certain prepaid room reservations, such as when the booking is made through a third party — including but not limited to travelocity.com, expedia.com, orbitz.com and delta.com — are not considered eligible rates and do not earn Starpoints or qualify for promotional earnings.

All promotions are subject to the Starwood Preferred Guest program terms and conditions, which are subject to change without notice and can be found at spg.com. Offer is applicable to individual members only and not to groups. Not responsible for omissions or typographical errors. Starwood reserves the right to discontinue this offer at any time.

Here are the frequently asked questions by SPG:

When can I register for the promotion?

SPG Members can register starting September 23, 2015, through 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time (ET), December 6, 2015; this is called the “Registration Period.”

Can anyone register for this promotion?

Any Member can register at spg.com/stayformore. A nonmember can join the SPG program and register simultaneously, also at spg.com/stayformore.

What are the dates during which I can earn bonus Starpoints?

Each registered SPG Member can earn bonus Starpoints for eligible paid stays from October 1, 2015, through December 20, 2015.

Will eligible stays or nights prior to registration count toward my earning?

Yes, as long as the member registers by December 6, 2015, any eligible paid stay from October 1, 2015, through December 20, 2015, will count toward earning.

How do I earn double Starpoints?

A registered member will earn double Starpoints if the eligible stay is two or more nights at a participating hotel or resort during the promotion period.

How do I earn the bonus of 500 Starpoints?

Registered members who stay three or more eligible nights at a hotel or resort participating in SPG Stay for More will earn 500 bonus Starpoints. The nights need to be consecutive. The bonus may be earned an unlimited number of times.

At which Starwood hotels and resorts am I eligible to earn double and bonus Starpoints?

A member can earn double and bonus Starpoints at over 1,000 participating Starwood hotels and resorts. Click here to view the complete list of hotels and resorts not participating in the promotion.

What qualifies as an eligible paid stay for the double Starpoints?

An eligible paid stay includes at least two nights at a participating SPG hotel or resort paying a qualifying rate that earns Starpoints as defined by the terms and conditions of the SPG program (spg.com/t&c).

Can I book through a third party and earn bonus Starpoints?

Stays must be booked through any Starpoints-eligible channel. This is the only way to earn double Starpoints and get our best rates. Stays booked through prepaid, third-party channels — such as orbitz.com, expedia.com, travelocity.com, delta.com, etc. — are not eligible Rate Plans, so the member will not earn bonus Starpoints and will not qualify for the offer. A description of a Starpoints-eligible channel can be found at spg.com under the program terms and conditions, section 2.1.

How many Starpoints do I earn with double Starpoints?

With double Starpoints, a member will earn four (4) total Starpoints per eligible US$1 spent. Elite-level extra Starpoints earnings and other bonuses will not be doubled. Only the base two-Starpoints-per-dollar earnings are doubled. There is no limit on the number of total double bonus Starpoints a member can earn.

If part of my stay was reserved using a Free Night Award or SPG Cash & Points, will my stay qualify?

No. Stays booked with Free Night Awards or Cash & Points do not count as qualifying stays for this promotion. Even if part of the stay is reserved using an Award and part is paid, the member will not receive bonus Starpoints for any part of the stay.

If I check in before October 1, 2015, or check out after December 20, 2015, but some of my stay is in the promotion period, does my stay earn the bonus?

Yes. As long as two nights of the stay are within the promotion period, bonus Starpoints will be earned on every night during the entire stay (even if part of the stay falls outside the promotion period).

When will double and bonus Starpoints post to my account?

Double and bonus Starpoints will post to the registered member’s account within two to four weeks of each eligible paid stay posting. Please note the double Starpoints may post prior to the 500 Starpoints bonuses.

Will I earn stay and night credits toward elite status?

A member will earn stay and night credits as he or she normally does while earning Starpoints.

Can I take advantage of other bonus promotions at the same time?

Yes. However, each promotion earns bonuses independently of each other.
