BENEFITS

As part of our program, you will have access to exclusive benefits and redemption opportunities that have earned us dozens of accolades. Our remarkably valuable currency, Starpoints®, will transform your loftiest travel and entertainment dreams into rich reality, from free nights at some of the most enchanting hotels on earth to many other travel, merchandise and once-in-a-lifetime entertainment rewards.

Preferred Guest. Welcome To A World Of Award Winning Benefits.
While Preferred Guest® is the program's base tier, it is anything but basic. It provides entrée to a rich and fulfilling world of extraordinary travel and entertainment experiences.

• At the Preferred level, you will earn 2 Starpoints per every eligible dollar spent at over 1000 of Starwood's participating properties.
• Redeem Starpoints for a host of extraordinary rewards, including free nights and airline tickets. With our no blackouts policy, if there is a standard room available, or a flight available through our SPG Flights program, it's yours.
• Starpoints never expire as long as you have Starpoints activity at least once every 12 months.

Gold Preferred. Faster Free Nights. Elite Preferences. Good As Gold.
