Last week, I wrote about (access here) very lucrative targeted SPG Select Member Exclusive promo for category 1-6 free night certificates just for few stays.
I requested readers to send me links to the other offers under this same promotion and it seems that there are actually three different versions.
You can access this targeted offer on SPG’s website here where you can try your luck.
1. Free Night Cat 1-6 Certificate After A Stay (Max 3 Certs After 3 Stays)
Eligible member must register by August 31, 2014, 11:59 p.m. EDT. Members can earn one (1) Free Night Award after they book and complete one (1) eligible stay, a second Free Night Award after they complete their second (2nd) eligible stay, and a third Free Night Award after their third (3rd) eligible stay from July 15, 2014, through October 15, 2014 (the “promotion period”). This promotion is not transferable. Bookings made prior to the promotion period are eligible, but only eligible stays consumed during the promotion period will earn a bonus.
An eligible stay is a stay with at least 1 eligible paid night at any of the over 1,100 participating Starwood hotels and resorts paying an eligible paid rate during the promotion period.
2. Free Night Cat 1-6 Certificate After Two Stays & Additional Certificate After 3rd And 4th Stays (Max 3 Free Night Certs After 4 Stays)

Conclusion
The 3 certs after 3 or four stays IS a fantastic offer and you should absolutely do the stays IF your account is eligible for either of them. Category 6 properties, where you can use these, usually require 20,000 to 25,000 Starpoints per night.
