It will be there in your SPG account right after your first statement, with your first charge. It should be real fast.

Call them and get it credited. Make sure that you have an SPG account set up and the SPG account information is passed onto your AMEX Starwood account.

Nice to have as an option, but for 14000 points I can get 2 weekend nights in a pretty nice Cat 3 Starwood property, or 4 nights in a Cat 2. I'd say the nights are both a lot better use of my pts than a giftcard.

Are you sure they don't require 60,000 miles?

$50 / 5000 Starpoints * 100 = 1% CashBack
$100 / 9500 Starpoints * 100 = 1.05% CashBack

fyi for the person that asked about hilton vs spg -- hilton will not allow airline transfers as of 1/1/07

I was in the Account/Promotions & Offers Page of my TD Ameritrade Apex account and this was offered:

http://www.starwoodhotels.com/preferredguest/promotions/registration/landing_page.html?promoID=apex

For those who know SPG ins and outs, is this a good deal?

This is a fast-track to gold status. They'll start you off at the bottom and after 5 stays bump you to gold. I believe normally it would take 15 stays.

There's really no reason to do it unless you actually plan on staying 5 times within the year, but its free to become a member, so why not?


alert mods    

Thanks, I think the site says the Gold is conferred after 10 1-day stays. I can stay at a Westin or Sheraton on business trips. Is the accrual of points at 3pts per $ valuable or just standard?

alert mods    

3 pts / $ is valuable - I am a big starwood AMEX user and stay at starwood hotels whenever I can to earn points. I'll tell you what is nice about SPG, it is EASY to use your rewards, no vouchers (think Marriott) or anything else annoying, you go to their website, pick the hotel, pick the night, click use my points, and its done - you show up and no charge, no tax, no nothing. - Best of all no blackouts. That's my little rave, hope it helps you decide.

Could somebody point on where this redemption is? I can't find it on the SPG website under the Starpoints Awards section.

When you get the AMEX starwoods card doesnt that make you at gold status itself ?

Thanks for this excellent post, FFGuru. I applied for SPG couple of weeks back and am looking forward to racking up all those points
