SPG's Latest Promotion

Starwood Preferred Guest is out with their latest promotion.  You must register by 10/15/16 and complete stays between 8/15/16 and 11/15/16.  The promotion may be targeted and it's possible that some may see a different offer.  You can check to see if you are eligible here.


 My offer provides 2,000 bonus SPG points after the second stay, 2.500 after the third and 3,000 after the fourth up to a total of 7,500 bonus points for four stays.

I already have 3 stays lined up during the promotion so will earn an easy 4,500 bonus points for stays I was going to complete anyway.  Is it worth it to mattress run for the additional 3,000 points?  I value the points at around $75 so even at a rate of $65 (which is possible but unlikely in Denver) there still isn't much value in doing so.

In that case, I'd earn 250 points for being a Gold Member, 5x points for being elite and putting the stay on my SPG Amex and 3,000 bonus points.  That is 3,580 points valued around $90.  Likely not worth the incremental time but if you were short on stay credits and could pick up the 3,000 bonus points, it might be worth it.


My points from my second stay during the promo in Istanbul already posted.
