My Stash sources aren t revealing which partner hotel will be hosting the special hotels yet, but the official announcement will happen in the next several days via Stash s  Facebook  and  Twitter  feeds, on which they ll provide directions on how members can redeem 1,000 points for a free night.  The offer is limited to 10 rooms, first-come-first-served. Limit one room per member, and rooms are not transferable.

Starwood Preferred Guest is currently extending a discount on purchased SPG points  now through August 31 , SPG points can be bought for a 20% discount which brings poconos travel guide the price down from $35 for 1,000 points to $28 per 1,000 SPG points . After the purchase, it takes up to 24 hours for the SPG points to be deposited into your account.

However, you may purchase as many Starpoints as desired as gifts for other accounts. Each gift recipient can receive up to 20,000 Starpoints per calendar year.
While I rarely advocate buying points as it s usually not a good value. For instance, if you were to try to book a room at the W San Diego (pictured above) in August, you could find a nightly rate of about $229 a night, whereas buying the 10,000 points you would need for a free night redemption would cost $280. However, poconos travel guide the Westin Gaslamp (also in San Diego) is running at around $299, but since it s also a category 4 hotel requiring 10,000 points for a free night stay, you d be saving $18 by buying the points poconos travel guide necessary for a redemption.
poconos travel guide Or, for instance, TPG Managing Editor Eric s stay at the Westin Paris in May cost him 8,000 Starpoints + $150 in cash. Because room rates were nearly $500 at the time, those 8,000 Starpoints poconos travel guide saved him $340 and the points he used ended up being worth about 4.25 cents each, far above the value this promo is offering them at. If he had purchased those Starpoints with this promo they would have cost him a total of $224, still saving him $116.
As always, crunch the numbers poconos travel guide and see if they make sense for you and your particular situation. If you have a particular award stay you re hoping to top up for at a top property where room rates tend to run high but award space is still available, it could be worth it to buy a few extra Starpoints with this discount.
