Earning my Starwood points
I am approaching a 100,000 Starwood point balance in my SPG account finally. I love to earn and burn Starwood points above all. They are very flexible and usable. They are valuable for both high end hotel stays and can be transferred to airline programs for high end premium cabins.
Earlier this year my wife and I both signed up again for the SPG AMEX card (business version). This is the 2nd time that we have held the card. The sign up bonus earlier this year netted us 25,000 SPG points each plus 5,000 more points each per the spending hurdle. I also earned 5,000 more Starwood points for referring a friend the card. In total we had obtained about 65,000 Starwood points from the sign up bonuses and the referral.
I also earn many points from spending with the card. Normal spend mixed with my Redbird spend quickly adds another 5,000-10,000 points a month if not more depending on my schedule.
Lastly we earned several thousand points by actually paying to stay in Starwood hotels. We have paid for stays in the past at hotels like the St. Regis Bangkok in 2014 and The Naka Island in 2014. So as we approach 100,000 points I ask my self, “how do I want to spend these points?”
