Starwood Hotels and Resorts have seven levels of hotel categories for members to redeem their Starpoints for free nights.

Why do you feel these are best for redemption. The daily rate does not justify redeeming them for less than 2c / pt. This post is wrong in so many ways. “The most exclusive” suggests nothing better… Oh wait there’s a category 7…
Did Starwoods pay you to write this? Everyone in the frequent flyer world knows never to redeem for category 6 and 7 hotels!
