Starwood’s 4th Quarter Bonus

Starwood’s 4th quarter promotion rolled out today, and it’s a winner. Lots of different points-earning options for different types of travelers, and instead of targeting the offers to make members stretch to earn anything they let you choose which one you want (but you get to choose once and you have to stick to it!).

Registration is required before earning towards the promotion.

Lucky bullets the options.

  • Two stays earns you 2,000 bonus Starpoints
  • Four nights earns you 2,000 bonus Starpoints
  • Four stays earns you a free weekend night
  • Six stays earns you 9,000 bonus Starpoints
  • 12 nights earns you 9,000 bonus Starpoints
  • Four nights earns you a US$25 Amazon.com gift card
  • Eight nights earns you a free weekend night
  • Double your Starpoints with no earning limit
  • Two stays earns you a US$25 Amazon.com gift card
  • Ten stays earns you 25,000 bonus Starpoints
  • 20 nights earns you 25,000 bonus Starpoints
  • Each stay counts double toward elite status
  • If you’re striving for Platinum status, double stays is the ticket.  If you’re a truly heavy traveler, ten stays (or 20 nights if you tend to do long stays) for 25,000 bonus points — earnable up to 4 times! — is the ticket.   At the less frequent travel end, just two stays or four nights will earn 2,000 bonus points.  But whatever you do give the $25 Amazon gift cards a pass, woudlja?
