Do they not ask you for ID by check in? Would I call the hotel and say that someone else is checking in?

You can book another person under your and his name..so he can go for you.
It's not about the quantity of your posts.  It's about the quality.

Are there really any SPG properties available this week for under $65, anywhere near a metropolitan area?

Is that Pittsburgh?  If yes, it isn't anywhere near the tri-state area. (6 hour drive from central Jersey,  and 7 from Brooklyn NY)

I know. I spent a while looking through many states, and that was the cheapest. Nothing near that in NY/NJ/CT/DE or nearby PA.

Very worth it - that can be worth  > $500
If it's a empty SPG account that you don't use I'll gladly take it

Hey guys. I just received a promotion from SPG entitled "SPG Bonus Beginnings." The promotion states that I will receive 4k Starpoints for each eligible* stay up to 12k Starpoints (which translates to three total stays). The fine print says that I have to pay fully for all stays and cannot use starpoints or the starpoints + cash option.

I am looking to stay at two different Starwood hotels. I wanted to know that if I plan my trip as follows: Night 1 in Hotel A, Night 2 in Hotel B, and Night 3 in Hotel A, would this qualify as 3 different stays? I contacted SPG and asked them if 1 night was considered a stay for this promotion and was informed that 1 night is enough to receive the 4k per stay promotion. I am just curious if I did three hotels for three different nights do you think that I would get the full 12k?

Thanks!

That should work. If you check out and recheck into the same hotel that should also count.
