For Every Three Stays From May 1-July 31, SPG Members Earn One Free Night Award to Redeem at Over 200 Starwood Resorts Worldwide Including Sheraton Fiji, The Royal Hawaiian, The St. Regis Punta Mita and More
WHITE PLAINS, New York, May 4, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Third time's the charm, they say. And with the latest special offer from Starwood Preferred Guest (SPG), every three stays at a participating Starwood hotel or resort worldwide will earn SPG members a free resort night – with no limits on the number of resort nights they can earn.
The "SPG Getaway Free" offer is available exclusively for members of SPG, the award-winning loyalty program of Starwood Hotels & Resorts (NYSE: HOT). Travelers who are not yet SPG members can join the award-winning loyalty program and register for the promotion instantly during any stay at a Starwood hotel or resort, or by visiting spg.com/getawayfree. SPG membership is free and guests can begin earning Starpoints starting with their first stay.
Like all SPG rewards, the "SPG Getaway Free" award is flexible and simple to redeem. Here's how it works: From May 1 through July 31, registered SPG members who stay three times at any of the more than 1000 Starwood hotels or resorts worldwide will earn one free Resort Night Award.
Award Nights can be redeemed at approximately 200 resorts worldwide – seven days a week - through December 21 with no blackout dates. Best of all, Getaway Free awards are combinable -- so the more frequently you stay, the more free nights you will earn to enjoy a long resort getaway.
"Our SPG Getaway Free promotion is a way for us to thank our members with free nights for getaways with their loved ones at our amazing resorts," said Chris Holdren, Senior Vice President of Starwood Preferred Guest. "It's also a great incentive for travelers to consider joining SPG to receive the industry-leading recognition and rewards that we provide."
