Earlier today I received an exciting email from Starwood Preferred Guest (SPG).  The subject was “Amazing Bonus Offer Coming Your Way”.  Let me just remind everyone that I’m a 50-night a year Platinum Member.  Almost all of my annual hotel stays are with SPG Properties.

When the economy was in the toilet (and I was splitting my hotel stays across Marriott, Hilton and Starwood), I was often getting these sweet double or triple points per stay or thousands of points bonus after a stay or two.  Now that the economy is humming and I’m at the top tier status with SPG I’m not getting any lucrative bonuses – why should I?  I stay with them, I don’t have much incremental business that I can push their way.

Back to the email that got me all excited today.  I clicked the link, entered my SPG number and found that my special bonus was 3,000 bonus points after three stays…then 3,000 more points after six stays…and 3,000 more points after 9 stays.

My Special SPG Bonus

So if I have nine separate stays (between May 1, 2015 and July 31, 2015), I’ll get 9,000 bonus points.  Not at all a lucrative bonus and definitely not something that will make me do a mattress run.
