@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.

Anyone try getting day rates for $35 in NY area

By: justDownTheHall

@Elie It starts May 1st so the stay on 4/25 wouldnt be very useful

By: Dan/Ctownbochur

Dan/Ctownbochur — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 16:43:23 +0000

@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.

By: E

Tue, 21 Apr 2009 16:29:35 +0000

You could check in and out every day for 4 weeks , of course you’d have to have 4 weeks to spare

By: eli

eli — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 14:12:16 +0000

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.

By: elie

elie — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 10:27:57 +0000

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.

@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!!

As far as I know the 50% off coupons only get you 50 off full rack rate

By: levi

levi — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 02:03:54 +0000

Sorry my mistake, SPG50 does give you a stay credit

By: Damaxer91

Damaxer91 — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 01:52:56 +0000

FYI- A %50 off coupon DOES count as a stay

By: DAVID

DAVID — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 01:46:54 +0000

Can anyone confirm that a day rate will count as a eligible stay?

By: levi

levi — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 20:58:01 +0000

#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.

By: JustDownTheHall

JustDownTheHall — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 19:44:24 +0000

But do day rates qualify?

By: anon

anon — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 18:03:12 +0000

Call the hotels and ask for a day rate, most of them are cheaper.

By: eli

eli — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 17:32:21 +0000

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 >

By: eli

eli — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 17:08:24 +0000

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.

I just arranged a day rate with a hotel to have the room for just a “few hours” (check-in check-out) for $35

By: levi

levi — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 17:00:11 +0000

@Jeff: Four Points by Sheraton in Norwalk Ct. They have rates on the weekends as low as $65 a night

By: Dan/Ctownbochur

Dan/Ctownbochur — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 16:54:07 +0000

Good suggestions eli, but don’t forget that this doesn’t start until May 1st!

By: eli

eli — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 16:45:53 +0000

@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.

What is the chaepest starwood in the tristate area for a matress run.

By: Dan/Ctownbochur

Dan/Ctownbochur — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 13:42:26 +0000

@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.

By: juniorbochur

juniorbochur — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 12:33:59 +0000

hey dan. do the first two stays have to be in the same property?

By: JustDownTheHall

JustDownTheHall — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 07:32:16 +0000

Does this work for rooms booked using priceline or other third party booking sites?

If i book 2 stays using starwood points do i still get this promotion?
Thanx
