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!

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.

Starwood sent me an email titled:  “Platinum Members: A Gift Awaits You as a Thank-You from SPG.” Apparently this email did not make it to every SPG Platinum member as Statusmonger was somehow left out. SPG is basically giving out limited-edition travel tags to its Platinum members. Here’s the main content of the email:

To receive your limited-edition tags, we just need the mailing address to which you’d like the tags sent. Simply click the link below, provide the address* by Friday, December 18 at Noon Eastern Standard Time and we’ll mail your gift to you.

There’s a link in the email (or click on the picture below) directing you to a web form which will validate if you are a SPG Platinum member. Once you are confirmed as a SPG Platinum member, you will have to provide your mailing address to receive these limited-edition travel tags. As stated in the email, you will need to complete the form by no later than noon Easter time (this Friday), December 18, 2009.

Enjoy the tags!
