Dear xxxx
I apologize but I am unable to locate any promotional offer of earning 30,000 bonus Starpoints on your account.
The offer associated to your Starwood Preferred Guest is to earn up to 25,000 Starpoints:
1) 10,000 Bonus Starpoints is earned after the first purchase is made within a year from the time the Card account is opened.
2) 15,000 Bonus Starpoints is earned after you have completed $5,000 of eligible spending within the first 183 days of Cardmembership.
We are unable to enroll your account or award Reward points to your account for the 30,000 points offer, as it was a limited only to customers who were explicitly sent this offer.
Please understand we are unable to make each individual offer available to all our Cardmembers. While this particular offer is not available to you, we are always creating new offers to help our existing Cardmembers earn more bonus points. When an offer becomes available to you, we will send you a letter or email explaining the opportunity and how you can take advantage of it.
We appreciate your understanding and look forward to assisting you in the future.
Sincerely,
Surajit Dhar
