When you apply for the Starwood Preferred Guest Business Credit Card from American Express, you’ll get 35,000 bonus Starpoints after you make $5,000 in purchases within the first three months of card membership. The annual fee of $95 is also waived the first year.
35,000 Starwood points—or 70,000 points if you apply for both the personal and business cards—can go a long way.
In addition to using SPG points to transfer to airlines for free flights, you can also use your points to stay at some amazing hotels around the world for free.
Want to spend ten days at a tropical Indonesian resort? The Sheraton Sengiggi in Lombok, Indonesia is a killer deal with free nights ranging between 3,000-4,000 SPG points per night (based on the season you travel). You could use your signup bonus from the SPG Personal Card or the SPG Business card to get up to 11 free nights during the low season (3,000 points x 11 nights = 33,000 points).
Plus, with Starwood’s 5th night free bonus, you get 1 night free for every 4 nights you stay in the same location—that’s 13 free nights at a fancy beachside hotel! At an average daily rate of $150, you’ll be getting $1,950 value out of the signup bonus alone and still have points to spare.
Apply now for the Personal Card or Business Card.
If Indonesia isn’t on your bucket list, don’t worry, there are hundreds of amazing places around the world where you can use Starwood points for great hotel stays.
Here are a few hotels we think are an especially good value for SPG point redemptions:
Le Meriden Pyramids Hotel and Spa Cairo
Wake up to a view of the Great Pyramids at Giza for only 3,000 SPG points per night. With a redemption this low it’s worth spending an extra day to hang out poolside and take in the view of the Sphinx, all without anyone trying to sell you a camel ride. Points value is great. View is priceless.
Westin Bayshore Vancouver
One night at the Westin Bayshore Vancouver will cost you 10,000 SPG points, but at a rack rate of $400-$600 per night, it will save you a ton of money! Use your signup bonus to spend a long weekend on the Vancouver waterfront, and you’ll be getting more than $1,200-$1,800 value or more and still have points to spare.
Le Meriden Etoile Paris
Another great use of SPG points is room night redemptions using the points & cash option. In central Paris, this recently refurbished property costs around $700 per night, but you can redeem just 6,000 points with a $110 cash co-pay. Redeem your signup bonus for 5 nights in Paris using cash & points. You’ll pay just $500, and save $3,000! That’s a great value for a credit card bonus!
Wherever you want to go, it’s worth checking out Starwood hotels and redemptions for free nights with the SPG card from American Express.
