Here’s your 2 step way to earn unlimited double and triple Starpoints:

2. Stay at a participating Starwood hotel or resort between October 1 – December 20, 2012

Plus, you can earn additional bonus Starpoints:

250 Starpoints when you book on spg.com
500 Starpoints when you book via the SPG App for iPhone®

And to sweeten the pot: Sheraton Gateway LAX, the host hotel for the FTU (that I talked about in this blog post titled FT University) miles and points educational weekend conference by Milepoint, is a participating hotel. Yet one more reason to book at the host hotel. And if you’re local, the Double Starpoints is an extra incentive to book a room.

Not all Starwood hotels and resorts are participating so be sure and check the list of Hotels & Resorts Not Participating in the Starwood Better By The Night Promotion before you book your stay.
