SPG just announced their next promo that is for double points and 2500 bonus points for every five nights for up to 10,000 bonus points after 20 nights. This promotion is valid for stays between September 1 and December 15, 2013, and requires registration by October 31.
Note that the registration for this promotion is not yet open and I will do an updated post once it is. Make sure to note the 100+ properties that have decided not to participate to this promotion.
If you read the terms and conditions, it seems that the 2500 bonus points for every 5 nights would be valid at ALL properties and the exclusion list below would only apply for the double Starpoints part. EDIT: The 2500 bonus points for every 5 nights is only valid at participating properties as well.
