Note that the 250 bonus Starpoints per night aspect of this promotion is valid for stays of even one night.
Conclusion
It is good that all the properties are participating to the double Starpoints offer. This promotion, however, doesn’t do anything for those whose stays are one nighters unless at those properties that offer the 250 bonus Starpoints per night.
Here are the terms and conditions of this offer:
Registration: SPG® Members must register online at ” target=”_blank” data-noappend=”true”>spg.com/taketwo by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time (ET) on April 10, 2016. Registered members can earn bonus Starpoints® for each eligible stay of two or more nights at any participating Starwood hotels and resorts and an additional 250 bonus Starpoints for any night at select participating Starwood hotels and resorts and at participating SPG Partner Hotels between January 11 and April 30, 2016 (the “Promotion Period”). A list of participating hotels and resorts for the bonus 250 Starpoints can be found at ” target=”_blank” data-noappend=”true”>spg.com/taketwo and is subject to change.
Earning: Registered SPG Members will earn double Starpoints on eligible stays of two or more nights between January 11 and April 30, 2016, at any SPG-participating Starwood hotels and resorts. Members who earn double Starpoints will earn an additional two (2) Starpoints per eligible US$1 spent (for a total of four [4] Starpoints per dollar spent). Elite-level extra Starpoints earnings and other bonuses will not be doubled. Only the base two-Starpoints-per-dollar earnings are doubled. There is no limit on the number of bonus Starpoints that can be earned during the promotion period. Additionally, registered SPG members will earn 250 Starpoints per night at select participating hotels and resorts. The complete list of hotels participating for the additional 250 Starpoints bonus can be found at ” target=”_blank” data-noappend=”true”>spg.com/taketwo. Offer is eligible with other Starpoints promotions; however, each offer will award bonus Starpoints independently of each other.
Bonusing: Double and bonus Starpoints will post to the registered Member’s account within 2–4 weeks after the qualifying stay posts.
Eligible Stays and nights: An eligible stay is defined as two or more consecutive nights paying an eligible rate in the same hotel, regardless of the number of check-ins or checkouts that occur, and posting to the member’s Starwood Preferred Guest® account. An eligible night is defined as at least one night paying an eligible rate. An eligible rate is any rate that is eligible to earn Starpoints in the Starwood Preferred Guest program. A listing of SPG-participating hotels and resorts and a description of eligible stays and eligible rates can be found at ” target=”_blank” data-noappend=”true”>spg.com under the program terms and conditions. See Section 2.1 for the complete definition of eligible rates. Note that certain prepaid room reservations, such as when the booking is made through a third party — including but not limited to travelocity.com, expedia.com, orbitz.com and delta.com — are not considered eligible rates and do not earn Starpoints or qualify for promotional earnings. Stays must be booked through any Starpoints-eligible channel which includes a travel professional who books through those channels or the GDS.

How do I earn double Starpoints?

Do I need to stay two or more nights to earn the 250 Starpoints?

Can I book through a third party and earn bonus Starpoints?
Stays must be booked through any Starpoints-eligible channel, which includes a travel professional who books through those channels or the GDS. This is the only way to earn double Starpoints and get our best rates. Stays booked through prepaid, third-party channels — such as orbitz.com, expedia.com, travelocity.com, delta.com, etc. — are not eligible Rate Plans, so the member will not earn bonus Starpoints and will not qualify for the offer. A description of a Starpoints-eligible channel can be found at ” target=”_blank” data-noappend=”true”>spg.com under the program terms and conditions, section 2.1.
How many Starpoints do I earn with double Starpoints?
With double Starpoints, a member will earn four (4) total Starpoints per eligible US$1 spent. Elite-level extra Starpoints earnings and other bonuses will not be doubled. Only the base two-Starpoints-per-dollar earnings are doubled. There is no limit on the number of total double bonus Starpoints a member can earn.
If part of my stay was reserved using a Free Night Award or SPG Cash & Points, will my stay qualify?
No. Stays booked with Free Night Awards or Cash & Points do not count as qualifying stays for this promotion. Even if part of the stay is reserved using an Award and part is paid, the member will not receive bonus Starpoints for any part of the stay.
If I check in before the Promotion Period begins, or check out after the Promotion Period ends, but some of my stay is in the Promotion Period, does my stay earn the bonus?
Yes. As long as one night of the stay is within the Promotion Period, bonus Starpoints will be earned on every night during the entire stay (even if part of the stay falls outside the Promotion Period).
When will double and bonus Starpoints post to my account?
Double and bonus Starpoints will post to the registered member’s account within two to four weeks of each eligible paid stay posting. Please note the double Starpoints may post prior to the 250 Starpoints bonuses.
Will I earn stay and night credits toward elite status?
A member will earn stay and night credits as he or she normally does while earning Starpoints.
Can I take advantage of other bonus promotions at the same time?
Yes. However, each promotion earns bonuses independently of each other.
