SPG has announced their promotion for the first 4 months of 2014 and it is quite similar to the Take Two promotion they offered for the 4Q2013 but a bit worse. The offer which is good from January 5, 2014-April 30, 2014 is:
- 2500 bonus Starpoints for every 5 eligible nights booked up to a maximum of 10,000 bonus Starpoints
- An additional 5000 Starpoint bonus if you reach 25 eligible nights
Since these are eligible nights, it means only fully paid nights will work and not cash and points reservations.
I think this offer is really lackluster and most likely won’t be taking advantage of it unless something else pops up. It doesn’t cost anything to register so you might as well Register Now! The Big Win promotion I wrote about this week from IHG is a much more attractive offer since I can get 78,000 points instead of 2500 for 6 stays. Even though the IHG points aren’t as valuable as SPG, the difference is too big to ignore.
An easier way would be to just get the SPG Amex or the SPG Business Amex which would give you 25,000 SPG points after only spending $5K.
