Triangle Trip

Now there’s all the more reason to room hop for those extra nights! SPG is offering free Internet service to Platinum members:

“As a Platinum member, you have access to our highest level of benefits, which now includes complimentary in-room Internet access. Now when you travel with SPG you’ll enjoy in-room Internet access — on us — at any of our more than 940 participating properties worldwide.”

In addition to the free Internet access, you can get double, triple, and quadruple Starwood points between now and March 31, 2010. Check out my previous post in case you have missed it. Enjoy!

Starwood (SPG) just issued a promotion to get a $100 gift card from Amazon. All you need to do is stay twice at a Westin property in the US or Canada between now and May 13, 2010. You will have to checkin from Sunday to Thursday as weekend stays do not count. This shouldn’t be an issue for our readers as we’re mostly business travelers. Here’s the link to register. By the way, you’ll need to register by April 30, 2010. There is also a limit of three Amazon cards per SPG account.

SPG has finally followed Delta’s lead (see Captain G’s previous post) and posted last year’s rollover nights to this year (2010). As you can see that I am a super loyal SPG member. I have already re-qualified for Starwood Platinum for 2011.

Looks like SPG was kind enough to also roll over hotel stays from 2009 to 2010; in addition to just hotel nights. Rollover stays is a hidden benefit which was not originally advertised.
