FREE 500 Starpoints With Any Reservation Made On Starwoodhotels.com

Follow instructions below:

  1. Go to www.starwoodhotels.com
  2. Select a date/city and click "search".
  3. You will see a list of hotels. Select a hotel by clicking on the "Book Now" button.
  4. You will now be at a page where you can select your particular room type and rate for your selected hotel. Notice on the left of your page. There is a search field called "Travel Agent # (ARC/IATA/TIDS)". Enter the code "99999999" in that field and click the "Search" button just below that field, to refresh the page.
  5. Complete your reservation as usual.

Below is the background story about the "99999999" code.

When Starwood customer contact centers are experiencing high call volumes, the following page:
http://www.starwoodhotels.com/helpdesk/helpdesk.html
is "unlocked" and you can get the same 500 Starpoints. The only thing that this special page does for you is automatically enter the "99999999" code in the "Travel Agent # (ARC/IATA/TIDS)" field.

It seems that you can use this technique anytime yourself! No need to wait for Starwood to "unlock" their special page.

Of course if you want to get the whole stay for free, you can open the Starwood Preferred Guest® Credit Card from American Express. or the Starwood Preferred Guest Business Credit Card from American Express, you get 10,000 starpoints after first purchase with each of the above cards- enough for three nights free!!
