For every 2 stays at any Starwood hotel between 05/01/09 and 07/31/09 you will get a free weekend night good at any of the more than 875 Starwood hotels that are in categories 1-6.

Have any plans for a “mattress run” where you book a cheap hotel room just for the sake of earning the reward for staying there? Let’s hear about it!

Does this work for rooms booked using priceline or other third party booking sites?
April 20th, 2009 at 8:33 am
hey dan. do the first two stays have to be in the same property?
April 20th, 2009 at 9:42 am
@moshe:
No, it’s only for paid stays.
@JustDownTheHall:
It will not work for priceline/hotwire.
It should work for regular 3rd party sites, but considering that spg.com has a best rate guarantee why wouldn’t you book directly from spg.com?
@juniorbochur:
No, they can be in any property.

What is the chaepest starwood in the tristate area for a matress run.
April 20th, 2009 at 12:17 pm
@Jeff. Try Weekends which tend to be cheeper and search on SPG. It will show you all properties in the tri-state area by typing in the basic metro areas (NYC) and further out in Connecticut and NJ if your interested.

On Saturday night, April 25th, you can stay at the Sheraton Newark airport for $89.
April 20th, 2009 at 12:45 pm
You can stay in the Sheraton Norwalk CT. on Saturday, April 25th for $80 and you cab stay in the Sheraton Eatontown on Sunday April 26th for $99.
April 20th, 2009 at 12:54 pm
Good suggestions eli, but don’t forget that this doesn’t start until May 1st!
April 20th, 2009 at 1:00 pm
@Jeff: Four Points by Sheraton in Norwalk Ct. They have rates on the weekends as low as $65 a night
April 20th, 2009 at 1:02 pm
I just arranged a day rate with a hotel to have the room for just a “few hours” (check-in check-out) for $35
April 20th, 2009 at 1:08 pm
ok. You can stay at the Sheraton Norwalk on Sat. May 2nd for $75. You can stay on Sat. May 9th at the Sheraton Newark airport for $89 and the Sheraton Norwalk for $75.

If you book a room and do not show up, will it qualify for the free weekend night award ? If that doesn’t qualify, can I send someone else to use the reservation. If you use the Starwood 50% off coupon, will that stay be eligible >
April 20th, 2009 at 2:03 pm
Call the hotels and ask for a day rate, most of them are cheaper.
April 20th, 2009 at 3:44 pm
But do day rates qualify?
April 20th, 2009 at 4:58 pm
#1. If you book a res and don’t show up it will not count as a stay.
#2. You can book a res and have someone else check in and it will count as a stay.
#3. A res using the 50% off coupon (spg50) will not count as a stay.
#4. From my past experience day rate do give you stay credits.
April 20th, 2009 at 9:46 pm
Can anyone confirm that a day rate will count as a eligible stay?
April 20th, 2009 at 9:52 pm
FYI- A %50 off coupon DOES count as a stay
April 20th, 2009 at 10:03 pm
Sorry my mistake, SPG50 does give you a stay credit
April 21st, 2009 at 1:28 am
As far as I know the 50% off coupons only get you 50 off full rack rate
April 21st, 2009 at 1:32 am
@levi
@anon
OR @ DAN
1- Which hotels in the tri state area have day rates for $35?
2- What hours would be considered day rates?
3- Would the hotel guarantee you that it would be a eligible stay?
THANKS!!

you can booc at the four points in Arizona for $64 per night 4/25-5/23 totla cost $2106 which gets you 15 free weekend stays.
April 21st, 2009 at 10:12 am
Elie, there are 2 problems. Unless you live in Arizona, you have to fly down there for 4 weeks. Secondly, since they are consecutive nights it would only count for one stay.
April 21st, 2009 at 12:29 pm
You could check in and out every day for 4 weeks , of course you’d have to have 4 weeks to spare
April 21st, 2009 at 12:43 pm
@E:
Actually you can’t.
If you check-in on consecutive days you’ll only get 1 stay credit as they will be lumped together.
You would have to check-in sunday, check-out monday, and then check-in tuesday, check-out wednesday.
Alternatively you could also check-in to a different hotel on that monday and keep switching back and forth every day between hotels.
April 21st, 2009 at 2:03 pm
@Elie It starts May 1st so the stay on 4/25 wouldnt be very useful
April 21st, 2009 at 2:58 pm
Anyone try getting day rates for $35 in NY area
April 21st, 2009 at 5:45 pm
I think Levi should be the v.p. of this site. Thanks for all that help!!
April 21st, 2009 at 8:21 pm
Can someone give us a cheap day rate in the tri state area
April 22nd, 2009 at 9:40 am

May 19th, 2009 at 8:24 am

May 19th, 2009 at 9:47 am

May 19th, 2009 at 12:12 pm
@bargainhunter:

May 19th, 2009 at 3:39 pm
@bargainhunter: call them it happened to me before,ask the hotel if there are any rooms available, if they say yes then they have to have a room for you any available room is bookable on points, call starwoods and make sure everything is updated.
May 19th, 2009 at 4:29 pm

May 19th, 2009 at 5:54 pm
