Redeeming
Points
You typically need to stay just three times to earn a
free night. Only Starwood Preferred Guest® allows you to redeem Starpoints(SM)
any time you want to go. Other programs say no blackouts, but limit the number
of free rooms available. With Starwood Preferred Guest, if there is a room available
in the hotel, it's yours!
Free Flights
Transfer Starpoints(SM) to 29
major airlines, most on a 1:1 basis. And receive a 5,000-mile bonus when you transfer
20,000 Starpoints to miles. That's 25,000 miles -- enough for a free domestic
U.S. ticket on most major airlines. Starwood Preferred Guest® is one of the only
programs that offers this valuable way to add miles to your account.
Room
Upgrades
Use as few as 1,000 Starpoints(SM) for a room upgrade at any participating
Starwood hotel or resort. Arrange for an upgrade to a Specialty Room or Suite
in advance of your stay or right when you arrive at the hotel. You may upgrade
from any category of room with a Free Night Award or a paid reservation.
Cash
& Points Award Nights
Stretch your Starpoints! Starwood Preferred Guest® is
the only frequent guest program that lets you redeem free nights using a combination
of cash and Starpoints(SM). Award Nights can be purchased with a combination of:
US $45 and 2,800 Starpoints per night for Category 3 hotels
US $60 and
4,000 Starpoints per night for Category 4 hotels
50% Off Regular Rates
For just 1,000 Starpoints(SM), you can stay at any participating Starwood hotel
or resort for up to five consecutive nights for 50% off the regular rate.
