Starwood launched a new promotion, where SPG members who have either the Starwood Preferred Guest Credit Card from American Express or the SPG Business American Express can earn 5,000 bonus Starpoints after staying 15 or more eligible nights from October 18 through December 18, 2016. EXPIRED

If you are looking for more Starpoints, consider the Starwood Preferred Guest Credit Card from American Express.

Terms and Conditions: 

Registration and Earning: Members must register for this offer online with a valid SPG® account number at spg.com/5000reasons by December 18, 2016, midnight Eastern Time (ET). Card Members who have registered for this offer are eligible to receive a one-time 5,000 Starpoint bonus for fifteen (15) or more consumed, eligible stays between October 18 and December 18, 2016 (the “promotion period”). 

Card Members must book and pay using any American Express® Credit or Charge Card. Bookings made prior to the promotion period are eligible for this offer, but only eligible stays consumed during the promotion period will receive a one-time bonus. Registered members may earn a maximum of 5,000 bonus Starpoints® during the promotion period with a one room max. This bonus is eligible at participating SPG properties. 

Bonusing: You must first register for this offer and then book and pay for a stay using any American Express® Credit or Charge Card. Must be a member of Starwood Preferred Guest to register for offer and receive Starpoints. Enroll for free at spg.com. Bonus Starpoints will post to the registered member’s account within 2–4 weeks after the last qualifying stay posts. 

Eligible Stays: An Eligible Stay is defined as one or more consecutive nights paying an Eligible Rate at a participating SPG property regardless of the number of check-ins or checkouts that occur and post to the member’s Starwood Preferred Guest® account. Eligible Stays with at least fifteen nights in the promotion period will receive a bonus. An Eligible Rate is any rate that is eligible to earn Starpoints in the Starwood Preferred Guest program. A description of SPG-participating hotels and resorts and of Eligible Stays and Eligible Rates can be found at spg.com under Terms & Conditions of the SPG program. See Section 1.4 b iii for the complete definition of Eligible Rates.

Bottom Line

This is a nice promotion for SPG Credit Card holders, however I wouldn’t go out of my way to stay 15 nights during this period if you didn’t have upcoming travel plans.
