Starwood Hotels New York SPG Rewards Survey

 

4-23-13-SPG NY Reward Analysis

New York Manhattan average room rate with Starwood Hotels Tuesday June 11, 2013 = $406. Tax is 15% additional to these rates.

New York Manhattan average room rate Friday June 14, 2013 = $306 or 25% less than weeknight rate.

Manhattan Room Rate Range = St. Regis $995 to Westin New York Grand Central at $229. This city is incredibly expensive on weeknights with some deals to be found for weekends.

  • Average SPG Reward Rate = 19,500 points.
  • Average spend for SPG free night = $5,240 if earning 3 points/$ as an elite member. SPG with 50% bonus points as Gold elite is a program where elite status matters as much for points earning as benefits.
  • Redemption Value Range = $13.45 to $38.25 per 1,000 points. This is a huge range showing Starpoints can save quite a bit of cash. My personal goal is $30 to $40 per 1,000 points when redeeming Starpoints. This is far easier to achieve with Cash & Points rates which were scarce in this New York survey.
  • Weeknight Average redemption value = $26.35 per 1,000 points for Tuesday, June 11, 2013.
  • Weekend Average redemption value = $20.33 per 1,000 points for Friday, June 14, 2013.

SPG Cash & Points awards were only available at two Manhattan hotels on Friday, June 14, 2013. There were no SPG Cash & Points award nights available in Manhattan for Tuesday, June 11. Of these 25 hotels, only Sheraton JFK offered SPG Cash & Points for Tuesday, June 11.

There does not seem to have been a big change in Cash & Points award availability for New York City since the increased rates went into effect last month.

W New York Union Square, 10,000 points + $180 on a $332 published rate. This SPG C&P award gives a poor redemption value of $15.20 per 1,000 Starpoints, but the C&P award is a better value than a standard award with the hotel in peak season at 25,000 points.

Westin New York Times Square, 10,000 points + $180 on a $329 rate. This is another poor value for Starpoints. Better value is just paying the hotel standard award rate, especially since there will be 15% tax on the $180 cash portion and no tax on a standard award for 20,000 points.

Starwood Hotels has a big footprint in New York City. The high cost of hotels makes the redemption value a good spend for many of these properties, especially for weeknight stays.

SPG is selling points at a 25% discount through April 30. The price is $26.25 per 1,000 points when buying 13,000 to 20,000 points. This table shows there are many hotels in New York where the redemption value is more than $26.25 per 1,000 points.

A purchase limit of 20,000 points might buy an extra award night or two in New York at rates less than the published rates.

    Greetings I am so happy I found your webpage, I really found you by mistake, while I was browsing
    on Digg for something else, Anyhow I am here now and
    would just like to say kudos for a remarkable post and a all round
    interesting blog (I also love the theme/design), I don’t have time to look over it all at the moment but I have bookmarked
    it and also added in your RSS feeds, so when I have time I will be back
    to read a lot more, Please do keep up the superb
    work.
    Appreciating the time and energy you put into your website and detailed information you present.
    It’s nice to come across a blog every once in a while that isn’t the
    same old rehashed information. Wonderful read! I’ve saved your site and I’m including your RSS feeds to my Google account.

    Hey there! I’ve been reading your site for a while now and finally got the courage to go ahead and give you a shout out from Humble Tx! Just wanted to tell you keep up the great work!
    I’m really enjoying the theme/design of your website. Do you ever run into any internet browser compatibility issues?

    A few of my blog readers have complained about my blog not operating correctly in Explorer
    but looks great in Opera. Do you have any recommendations to help fix this issue?

    I am curious to find out what blog system you happen to
    be using? I’m experiencing some minor security issues with my latest site and I’d like to
    find something more safe. Do you have any suggestions?

    Hmm it appears like your blog ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I wrote and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog.

    I as well am an aspiring blog blogger but I’m still new to the whole thing. Do you have any points for first-time blog writers? I’d genuinely appreciate it.

    Woah! I’m really loving the template/theme of this site. It’s
    simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s very hard to get that “perfect balance” between user friendliness and visual appearance. I must say that you’ve done a awesome job with this.
    In addition, the blog loads extremely fast for me on Internet
    explorer. Outstanding Blog!
    Do you mind if I quote a few of your posts as long as I provide credit and sources back to your site?
    My blog is in the very same area of interest as yours and my
    users would truly benefit from some of the information you provide here.
    Please let me know if this alright with you. Thank you!

    Hi there would you mind letting me know which webhost you’re using? I’ve loaded your blog in 3
    completely different browsers and I must say this blog loads a lot faster then most.
    Can you suggest a good web hosting provider at a reasonable price?

    Many thanks, I appreciate it!
    Superb site you have here but I was wanting to know if
    you knew of any discussion boards that cover
    the same topics discussed in this article? I’d really like to be a part of community where I can get feed-back from other experienced individuals that share the same interest. If you have any recommendations, please let me know. Many thanks!
    Howdy! This is my 1st comment here so I just wanted to give a quick shout out and say I really enjoy reading through your blog posts. Can you suggest any other blogs/websites/forums that deal with the same subjects? Appreciate it!
    Do you have a spam issue on this site; I also am a blogger, and I was wondering your situation; many of us have created some nice procedures and we are looking to trade methods with other folks, why not shoot me an email if interested.
    Please let me know if you’re looking for a article author for your weblog.
    You have some really good posts and I think I would be a good
    asset. If you ever want to take some of the load off, I’d absolutely love to write some material for your blog in exchange for a link back to mine. Please shoot me an email if interested. Regards!
    Have you ever thought about adding a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is important and everything. However think of if you added some great visuals or videos to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with images and video clips, this site could definitely be one of the best in its niche. Fantastic blog!
    Neat blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere? A design like yours with a few simple tweeks would really make my blog shine. Please let me know where you got your theme. Thank you
    Hi would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re using?
    I’m looking to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a difficult time choosing between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
    The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different
    then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely unique. P.S Apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!
    Hey just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The words in your post seem to be running off the screen in Chrome. I’m not sure if
    this is a format issue or something to do with internet browser compatibility
    but I thought I’d post to let you know. The style and design look great though! Hope you get the issue resolved soon. Many thanks
    With havin so much content and articles do you ever run into any problems of plagorism or copyright infringement? My website has a lot of completely unique content I’ve either authored
    myself or outsourced but it appears a lot of it is popping it up all over the
    internet without my agreement. Do you know any ways to help prevent content from being ripped off?
    I’d definitely appreciate it.
    Have you ever thought about creating an e-book or guest authoring on other blogs? I have a blog based upon on the same ideas you discuss and would love to have you share some stories/information. I know my visitors would appreciate your work. If you are even remotely interested, feel free to shoot me an e mail.
    Hi! Someone in my Facebook group shared this website with us so I came to give it a look. I’m definitely loving
    the information. I’m book-marking and will be tweeting this to my followers! Superb blog and great style and design.
    Fantastic blog! Do you have any tips and hints for aspiring writers? I’m hoping to start
    my own site soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you propose starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I’m totally confused ..

    Any tips? Cheers!
    My developer is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP.
    I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses.

    But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using Movable-type on several websites for about a year and am
    nervous about switching to another platform. I have heard good things about blogengine.net.
    Is there a way I can import all my wordpress posts into
    it? Any help would be really appreciated!
    Does your website have a contact page? I’m having trouble locating it but, I’d like to shoot you an email.
    I’ve got some recommendations for your blog you might be interested in hearing. Either way, great website and I look forward to seeing it expand over time.
    It’s a shame you don’t have a donate button! I’d without a doubt donate to this
    brilliant blog! I guess for now i’ll settle for bookmarking and adding your RSS feed to my Google account. I look forward to brand new updates and will share this blog with my Facebook group. Chat soon!
    Greetings from Colorado! I’m bored to death at work so I decided to check out your blog on
    my iphone during lunch break. I love the knowledge you provide here and can’t wait to take a look when I get home. I’m amazed at
    how fast your blog loaded on my mobile .. I’m not even using WIFI, just 3G .. Anyhow, awesome blog!
    Greetings! I know this is kinda off topic but I’d figured I’d ask. Would you be interested in exchanging links or maybe guest authoring a blog post or vice-versa? My blog covers a lot of the same topics as yours and I think we could greatly benefit from each other. If you are interested feel free to shoot me an email. I look forward to hearing from you! Excellent blog by the way!
    At this time it sounds like Expression Engine is the preferred blogging platform out there right now. (from what I’ve read) Is that what you’re using on your blog?
    Great post but I was wondering if you could write a litte more on this topic? I’d be very grateful if you could elaborate a little bit more.
    Thank you!
    Hello there! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering if
    you knew where I could locate a captcha plugin for my comment form?
    I’m using the same blog platform as yours and I’m having trouble finding one?
    Thanks a lot!
    When I initially commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now each
    time a comment is added I get four e-mails with the same comment.
    Is there any way you can remove people from that service?
    Appreciate it!
    Greetings! This is my first visit to your blog!

    We are a group of volunteers and starting a new project in a community in the same niche.

    Your blog provided us beneficial information to work on. You
    have done a marvellous job!
    Howdy! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering which blog platform
    are you using for this website? I’m getting fed up of WordPress because I’ve had problems with hackers and I’m looking at alternatives for another platform. I would be great if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
    Hi! This post couldn’t be written any better! Reading
    this post reminds me of my old room mate! He always kept chatting about
    this. I will forward this write-up to him. Fairly certain he will have a good read.
    Thanks for sharing!
    Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as
    though you relied on the video to make your point. You
    obviously know what youre talking about, why waste your intelligence on just posting videos to your blog when you could be giving us something informative to read?

    Today, I went to the beach front with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4
    year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell to her ear and screamed.
    There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.

    She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off
    topic but I had to tell someone!
    Yesterday, while I was at work, my cousin stole my apple ipad and tested
    to see if it can survive a 25 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation.
    My iPad is now broken and she has 83 views. I know this is completely off topic
    but I had to share it with someone!
    I was curious if you ever considered changing the layout of your website?
    Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
    But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better.
    Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or 2 images.

    Maybe you could space it out better?
    Howdy, i read your blog from time to time and i own a similar one and i was just wondering if you get a
    lot of spam comments? If so how do you stop it, any plugin or
    anything you can advise? I get so much lately it’s driving me insane so any support is very much appreciated.
    This design is spectacular! You obviously know how to keep a reader entertained. Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost…HaHa!) Excellent job. I really enjoyed what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented it. Too cool!
    I’m truly enjoying the design and layout of your site. It’s a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more pleasant for me to come here and visit more often. Did you hire out a designer to create your theme? Exceptional work!
    Hey there! I could have sworn I’ve been to this blog before but after
    browsing through some of the post I realized it’s new to me. Anyways, I’m definitely glad I found it and I’ll be book-marking and checking back frequently!
    Good day! Would you mind if I share your blog with my myspace group? There’s a lot of folks that I think would really appreciate your content.

    Please let me know. Thank you
    Hello, I think your blog might be having browser compatibility issues.
    When I look at your website in Chrome, it looks fine but when opening in
    Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up!
    Other then that, superb blog!
    Sweet blog! I found it while surfing around on Yahoo News.
    Do you have any suggestions on how to get listed in Yahoo
    News? I’ve been trying for a while but I never seem to get there! Appreciate it
    Hey there! This is kind of off topic but I need some help from an established blog. Is it tough to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty quick.

    I’m thinking about making my own but I’m not sure where
    to start. Do you have any points or suggestions?
    With thanks
    Hi there! Quick question that’s completely off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My blog looks weird when viewing from my iphone 4. I’m trying to find
    a template or plugin that might be able to fix this problem.
    If you have any suggestions, please share. Cheers!
    I’m not that much of a online reader to be honest but your blogs really nice, keep it up!
    I’ll go ahead and bookmark your site to come back later on. Cheers
    I really like your blog.. very nice colors & theme. Did you create this website yourself or did you hire someone to do it for you? Plz reply as I’m looking to construct my own blog and would like to know where u got this from.
    thank you
    Wow! This blog looks exactly like my old one! It’s on a entirely different topic but it has pretty much the same layout and design. Wonderful choice of colors!
    Hello just wanted to give you a quick heads up and let you know a few of the images aren’t loading correctly.
    I’m not sure why but I think its a linking issue. I’ve
    tried it in two different internet browsers and both show
    the same outcome.
    Hi there are using WordPress for your site platform?

    I’m new to the blog world but I’m trying to get started and set up
    my own. Do you need any coding expertise to make
    your own blog? Any help would be really appreciated!
    Howdy this is somewhat of off topic but I was wanting to
    know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have
    to manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding know-how so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Hey! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any trouble with hackers? My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing several weeks of hard work due to no data backup. Do you have any methods to prevent hackers?
    Hi! Do you use Twitter? I’d like to follow you if that would be ok.

    I’m definitely enjoying your blog and look forward to new posts.
    Hey! Do you know if they make any plugins to safeguard against hackers? I’m kinda
    paranoid about losing everything I’ve worked hard on. Any tips?
    Hello there! Do you know if they make any plugins to help with SEO? I’m trying to get my blog to rank for some targeted
    keywords but I’m not seeing very good results. If you know of any please share. Kudos!
    I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting
    my own weblog and was curious what all is required to get setup?
    I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very internet smart
    so I’m not 100% certain. Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
    Hmm is anyone else having problems with the pictures on this blog loading? I’m trying to find out
    if its a problem on my end or if it’s the blog. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    I’m not sure why but this site is loading incredibly slow
    for me. Is anyone else having this issue or is it a problem
    on my end? I’ll check back later on and see if the problem still exists.
    Hello! I’m at work browsing your blog from my new iphone 3gs!
    Just wanted to say I love reading your blog and look forward to all your posts!

    Keep up the outstanding work!
    Wow that was strange. I just wrote an extremely long comment but after I clicked
    submit my comment didn’t appear. Grrrr… well I’m not writing all that over again.
    Anyhow, just wanted to say great blog!
