Free Baltimore Orioles Ticket For Your Birthday!

Wednesday, March 4th, 2009

Offer Linky

You’ll get a free voucher good a upper reserve ticket for any game during your birth month. Birthdays in January, February, and March will receive a voucher for an April game ticket; birthdays in October, November and December will receive a voucher for a September game ticket. The vouchers are not good for Yankees or Red Sox games.

Best part? At an Indians-Orioles game last year in Oriole Park it was so empty that my upper reserve ticket worked just fine for a seat in the first row right behind the Indians dugout! Plus Oriole Park is one of the 5 7 MLB ballparks with glatt kosher food (Baltimore, Boston, Cleveland, NYY, and NYM, am I missing any? Commenters note that Florida and Toronto also have kosher stands.)

Coming March 2nd: 2009 Starwood Category Adjustments!

Sunday, March 1st, 2009

Update: Today is the last day to lock in rates at hotels that are climbing in category!

The Sheraton Jerusalem Plaza has lots of Cash and points availability, which is one of the best uses of Starpoints when a Cash and points award is available. The Cash and points award will go up tomorrow from 2,800 Starpoints+$45 to 4,000 Starpoints+$60 with its rise from category 3 to category 4 hotel.

Cash and points availability is often better when calling an agent than when searching on spg.com.

Have Starwood call you.

Starwood Eliminates All Peak Season Award Upcharges!


There are 7 Starwood hotel categories. Hotels are categorized by the average rates that they charged over the past year.

82 hotels will go up and will now cost more Starpoints, 156 will go down and will now cost fewer Starpoints.

Important:
You can lock in the old rates for hotels going up in category by booking before March 2nd even if you don’t currently have enough Starpoints! Starpoint reservations are generally fully refundable until a day or so before check-in.  Again, the old rate is valid for stays anytime until the end of scheduling at all Starwood hotels as long as they are booked before March 2nd!

If you have Starpoint reservations at a hotel that is going down in category just wait until March 2nd and then get it readjusted downward. Also don’t forget to get Starpoint reservations for peak dates booked at category 5-7 hotels readjusted as well!

Hotels that went up in category: 82
From 1->2: 9 hotels.
From 2->3: 27 hotels.
From 2->4: 1 hotels.
From 3->4: 22 hotels.

From 4->5: 14 hotels.
From 5->6: 6 hotels.
From 6->7: 2 hotels.

Hotels that went down in category: 156

From 4->3: 46 hotels.
From 4->2: 4 hotels.
From 5->4: 41 hotels.
From 6->5: 11 hotels.
From 6->4: 1 hotels.
From 7->6: 5 hotels.

Overall there are now:
Category 1: +2 hotels.
Category 2: +11 hotels.
Category 3: +14 hotels.
Category 4: Unchanged
Category 5: -22 hotels.
Category 6: -2 hotels.
Category 7: -3 hotels.
