My Midas Touch Gives New SPG Members Starwood Preferred Guest Gold Elite
Starwood Preferred Guest is currently running a targeted promotion whereby as a SPG Platinum elite member I can refer a new member to SPG for instant Gold elite and bonus points.
The new SPG member will receive instant SPG Gold elite membership valid through February 2011 and earn 1,000 bonus points for every night you stay in a Starwood between November 15 and March 31, 2010.
This offer is only valid for new members to Starwood Preferred Guest. Current SPG members and expired SPG members will be purged from this offer according to SPG representatives.
My new SPG friends earning 1,000 points per night will be earning more points per Starwood Hotel stay than me on my stays for the duration of this promotion. I only receive 500 points per stay for an SPG Platinum amenity and I don’t even receive that at some hotels.
1,000 bonus points per night is a great Starwood promotion for any member and a fantastic deal for a new SPG member.
Starwood Hotels has about 1,000 properties globally. The hotel brands in the Starwood family include Sheraton, Westin, St. Regis, the Luxury Collection, Le Meridien, Four Points, element, and aloft. The hotel chain is regularly one of the top performers on Condé Nast’s annual Gold List of the World’s Best Hotels with far more hotels selected than the much larger hotel chains of Hilton and InterContinental Hotels Group.
SPG Gold elite membership normally requires 10 stays or 25 nights in a calendar year. Gold membership has the benefit of increasing your earnings to 3 Starpoints per $1 compared to 2 Starpoints per $1 as a base level SPG Blue member. The 1,000 bonus points per night is on top of points normally earned and other promotional bonuses you may be eligible to receive during this promotion period. 1,000 bonus points is essentially a $35 credit towards a future hotel stay with Starwood. Use your points wisely and you should get $35 to $50 value when redeeming 1,000 points for a Starwood hotel stay.
Spend $300 for a three night Starwood Hotel stay and you will earn 3,900 Starpoints rather than just 600 Starpoints normally earned by a new SPG Blue level member. Free nights with SPG start at 2,000 points for a Category 1 weekend. Category 4 Cash & Points Awards are just $60 + 4,000 points per night.
So what is in it for me?
I will earn a one-time 1,000 Starpoints bonus if a referral member stays at least one time in a Starwood Hotel during the promotion period ending March 31, 2010.
Let me help you. And you help me. My wife and I would thoroughly love a nice hotel vacation in 2010 far away from California in a European Starwood Hotel courtesy of our SPG friends.
Let’s make social media work for both of us.
What would really be cool for Loyalty Traveler blog is to have my new SPG Gold friends submit a photo of a Starwood hotel stay. Let’s see if Loyalty Traveler can spread the Gold touch of travel around the world.
What you need to do for me to refer you for this promotional offer:
1. Send me an email to ricgarridolt@gmail.com using the email address you want for the referral to Starwood Preferred Guest. I’ll try to check it at least daily for referral requests. The SPG referral only requires your email so you don’t even have to provide your name if you so choose. And if you choose to write me a note, that is cool too.
2. I submit your email address using the SPG promotion referral form.
3. You look for the referral email from SPG. You should receive the email from SPG within a day of my referral.
4. Join SPG using the email referral link provided in the email from SPG.
5. Your membership status should be Gold (assuming you are truly a new SPG member)
6. Stay in a Starwood hotel and earn 1,000 bonus points for every night by March 31, 2010.
7. Enjoy your Starwood Hotel stays, hopefully with a complimnetary upgrade. I have enjoyed mine over the years.
Disclosure: I am an independent traveler and blogger. I have no business relationship with Starwood Hotels. I am not a travel agent. As a hotel loyalty program analyst I am telling you this is a great opportunity to jump into a hotel program with elite status that will allow you to earn more points for free hotel nights, possibly receive some complimentary upgrades, and probably result in invitations to some exclusive promotions in 2010 as Starwood Preferred Guest Gold.
