Update: 11/30: Today is the final day to register for this awesome promotion.  You can still book after today as long as you register your account by today.
I’ll be hitting up one of the hotels below for the first time myself combining a 5th night free award with the 50% off for a whopping 60% total Starpoint discount!

Many people transfer their Starwood Starpoints into airline miles.  It offers a lucrative transfer ratio, 20,000 Starpoints becomes 25,000 miles with most airlines or even 50,000 with OneWorld’s LAN.

However using Starpoints for hotel redemptions can be very lucrative.  There are no blackout dates or capacity controls, if a standard room is for sale you can use points for it, even during peak travel times.  Additionally if you redeem for 4 nights you get the 5th night for free.

Starwood has a great new promotion that will rebate up to half of the points you use for select resorts. (Registration required)

All you need to do is have at least one night of your stay occur between 10/21 and 12/20 and you will receive a rebate for points used for the entire stay, even if just one night falls within the promo dates!

-You must register your SPG number by 11/30 to receive the points rebate.

-This promotion applies for standard Starwood free nights and 5th night free awards.  It does not apply for cash and points, nights and flight, or for suite awards.

-If you stay 2 nights at a category 4 (10,000 points per night) hotel you will pay 20,000 points and get a 10,000 point rebate. If you stay 5 nights at the same hotel you will pay 40,000 points and get a 20,000 point rebate.

-There is no limit to the amount of times you can take advantage of this promotion.

-You will receive the rebate automatically within 4-6 weeks after checking out.

-As always, Starwood award stays qualify towards elite status qualification.

No New York love

rafi

St. Regis Monarch Beach is a Category 6 hotel.
So thats 10,000 for free night

daniel

What if you only have enough points for the discounted rate? Would thy still let you book with the discount or must you have the full amount of points and have the points given back as a rebate.

SEG

@daniel: The T&C states you need the full amt of points to book, then they refund your points back after the completion of your stay. You’d have to buy the extra points (currently on sale for 20% off reg price). Still a great deal.

Nissim

Are there any hotels I can use in Jerusalem?

Thanks

DAWG

Nissim

Regarding Israel, I’ve emailed them and this is the reply:

Nissim,

Thank you for choosing Starwood Preferred Guest. I hope this email finds you well.

The below offer for our SPG Redeem and Reward promotion is targeted for the 21 featured resorts in the U.S. and Canada.

We appreciate our loyal guests worldwide and love to launch promotions that have participating properties from around the world; however, from time-to-time SPG has promotions for hotels and resorts in particular regions, and this is one such time. It is the first time we are doing a redemption promotion of this nature, and if successful, SPG hopes to have more in the future for select hotels around the world.

@KA: Deluxe on a higher floor. They will not give you a suite they will lie and say they are fully booked. I’m am here right now and booked a second reservation to change from cash and points to all points. Thanks Dan. You saved me $275 for the night. I believe this is a better choice than the W based on Dans review of the W Miami Beach. Service is Amazing. I requested a Diaper Genie turns out the didnt have one so the sent my personal Butler out off property to Buy one. Lol.

Sarah

I just emailed SPG and was told that if I checked in on Dec. 20th and checked out on the 26th, only 12/20 would be rebated. Anyone have the rules of the promotion so I can get my whole time rebated. I can’t seem to pull up on the internet. Thanks!
