School of SPG 7 – Register for SPG promotions

One of the best ways to benefit from the Starwood Preferred Guest loyalty program is to register for SPG promotions.

So now you've joined SPG, or have a SPG-earning credit card, most people forget perhaps the best way to earn Starpoints – register for SPG promotions.

Why you should register for SPG Promotions

Whilst the Starwood Preferred Guest SPG loyalty program is pretty awesome, if you're not registered for SPG Promotions you will definitely miss out on the best deals, such as:-

• Free night Offers
• Double Elite Qualification – so you achieve Elite status with less stays, i.e. from Gold to Platinum in 8 stays not the normal 15
• Double, Triple and extra Starpoints
• Bonus Starpoints – such as for updating your contact details, you can earn up to 500 Starpoints
• Updates on sales

You should make it a habit to check the SPG website at least once a month to see all the latest offers, as they are often not advertised anywhere else.

For example, just looking at the SPG website now, the current promotions are available:-

1. SPM ‘More for You' – Earn Double and Triple Starpoints through to 18th December.
2. Biggest sale of the year – Save up to 35% worldwide through to September 2017, book by 4th December.
3. Suite Deal: Get your second suite night for $4
4. Earn double, triple or 3,000 bonus Starpoints
5. Enjoy a free resort night
6. Complimentary Night – 1 night when you stay 3 consecutive nights.

How to register for SPG Promotions

Almost all of the available SPG Promotions can be joined via the SPG website,

1. Looking at the top section of the website, there is a changing full-width graphics banner which scrolls through most of the SPG promotions.
2. Also, if you look underneath the banner, there are often text-only links to other promotions or offers.
3. Finally, scroll down towards the bottom of the page and below your account details, there are often two more smaller pictures with other SPG promotions.
