How can I earn points during my stays?

Earning points during stays as a member of the Starwood Preferred Guest program is a straightforward process. Members earn Starwood points by booking eligible stays at participating hotels and resorts within the extensive Starwood portfolio. Each dollar spent on room rates, as well as on qualifying charges such as dining and spa services, typically translates into points. It is important for members to ensure that their bookings are made directly through the official Starwood channels or other authorized sites, as this ensures eligibility for earning points. In addition to base points earned during stays, members often have opportunities to earn bonus points through promotional offers and special select partners within the loyalty program, which may include airlines, car rental services, and other travel-related businesses. Furthermore, members can leverage elite status tiers, as higher-tier members may receive increased point earnings per dollar spent. For the most current details on earning points, including any special promotions and partnership opportunities, it is advisable to visit the Starwood Preferred Guest website.
