The Offer
No direct link

The Fine Print
- Offer on valid at the following SPG participating hotels & resorts in the US and US terrorities: Aloft, Design Hotels, Element, Four Points by Sheraton, Le Meridien, The Luxury Collection, Sheraton, St Regis, Tribute Portfolio, W Hotels and Westin.
- Reservations must be made online at spg.com, via the SPG mobile app or by calling 1-877-782-7966
Our Verdict
Stack with the following offer: SPG Explore More Promotion: Up To 1,000 Points Per Stay & 10,000 Points When You Stay 25 Nights. Works out to be a 20% discount if you spend exactly $300. Seems like the $300 needs to be in a single charge. Fingers crossed a Twitter hashtag comes out for this offer. Nice to see some better Q4 offers coming through now as well, was a bit disappointed at the start of the month.

DP update: multiple transactions at the same hotel worked. $290 prepaid online in October, about $50 charged at checkout at the hotel in December. Received the offer email right away then credit in a few days
Is it really just US? Vs if you went and stayed in Europe
I have an upcoming stay at a FOUR POINTS BY SHERATON that was booked a while ago.
Room rate total: $293.02. Total including taxes & fees: $343.21.
Received this email from Amex today:
"Thank you for using your American Express Card ending in _____ at FOUR POINTS BY SHERATON _______. You will have successfully redeemed the offer if your purchase meets the offer terms."
Will have to see how this turns out when I charge the card at the front desk.
Any update on this? Looking to book a room that totals just over $300 with taxes included. Wanted to know if that would still trigger the offer or not. Thanks!
DP from me shows that taxes + food/drinks-charged-to-room count. My Amex Offer triggered with $242 room rate + $40 in taxes + $40 in drinks :)
I happened to be staying at a Sheraton when this came out, booked through corporate travel agency. Just went to the front desk and charged $300 on one AmEx card and $300 on another towards my bill. Got the Great News email right away for both. So I don't think room rates/booking channel matters: So long as you charge $300 at the front desk it seems it will trigger.
Originally only had this on a random PRG AU card last night. After midnight pst it rolled in on every Amex I have including a Delta Plat. With that and the BBP and Hilton comments it seems the Twitter sync is hope is not needed thanks to it hitting everything. Hopefully this one works for cumulative spend.
Chatted in to Amex support about if this needs to be in one transaction or not and got this response: "It is a Minimum Cumulative Spend Threshold Amount. That means, you can make multiple transactions for a total of $300 or more."
I screenshotted it for good measure, but given the wording that the rep used ("Minimum Cumulative Spend Threshold Amount"), this sounds like something that they can actually check and not just spit out an unverified answer.
wish this was MR or SPG points bonus offer instead.
if AMEX RAT wanted to make a deal with the community and said "u dont abuse us and we will come out with pimp daddie offers + additional CC benefits that will make u nut all over urself..." i would agree.
Must the room rate be $300+? Or the total must be $300+?
DP for me says that taxes + food/drinks-charged-to-room count. My Amex Offer triggered with $242 room rate + $40 in taxes + $40 in drinks :)
Fine print says room rate & room charges, so taxes/fees wouldn't count. Unsure if this is enforced or not.
@Gum, any DP for prepaid future stay across multiple cards?
Not sure how many cards SPG will let you split payment with. If anybody knows let us know so we can update the payment workshop https://www.doctorofcredit.com/payments-workshop/
Perhaps it offer-to-offer, but I have used a number of Hilton and Marriott offers (or their brand-specific ones) and split payment across cards at whatever the minimum spend is. I've always received the credit.
FWIW - I just chatted with an Amex customer service rep and he confirmed that you can meet the $300 spend with multiple transactions.
Unfortunately reps are often wrong
Got it in all my cards just in time for a work trip! Wohoo About $300 in free amex money back! I will have to use several cards for the bills and the accounting dept will hate me but its worth it!
