We are an independent publisher. Our reporters create honest, accurate, and objective content to help you make decisions. To support our work, we are paid for providing advertising services. Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Next” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. The compensation we receive and other factors, such as your location, may impact what ads and links appear on our site, and how, where, and in what order ads and links appear. While we strive to provide a wide range of offers, our site does not include information about every product or service that may be available to you. We strive to keep our information accurate and up-to-date, but some information may not be current. So, your actual offer terms from an advertiser may be different than the offer terms on this site. And the advertised offers may be subject to additional terms and conditions of the advertiser. All information is presented without any warranty or guarantee to you.

This page may include: credit card ads that we may be paid for (“advertiser listing”); and general information about credit card products (“editorial content”). Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Apply Now” button or “Learn More” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. When you click on that hyperlink or button, you may be directed to the credit card issuer’s website where you can review the terms and conditions for your selected offer. Each advertiser is responsible for the accuracy and availability of its ad offer details, but we attempt to verify those offer details. We have partnerships with advertisers such as Brex, Capital One, Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo and Discover. We also include editorial content to educate consumers about financial products and services. Some of that content may also contain ads, including links to advertisers’ sites, and we may be paid on those ads or links.

    And now, via Reddit, Starwood is targeting certain AMEX Starwood cardholders with a special promotion.  You’ll earn 5,000 bonus Starwood points if you spend $5,000 in qualifying purchases on your eligible AMEX Starwood credit card before May 31, 2017!

    Starwood Points Are Some of the Most Valuable Points in This Hobby!

    So if you’ve been targeted for this promotion, you have ~12 weeks from today to spend $5,000 on your AMEX Starwood card.  The sooner you enroll, the easier it will be to reach the spending requirement.  And make sure you check out these 40+ creative ways to meet minimum spending!

    Is This a Good Promotion?

    If you do a lot of non-bonus category spending, this is a good deal!  That’s because Starwood points are very valuable.  So using your AMEX Starwood cards for non-bonus spending is a good idea anyway.

    For example, you can transfer your Starwood points to 30+ airlines for free flights.  Or, you can use them at beautiful and expensive Starwood hotels around the world!  Plus, you can transfer them to Marriott at a ratio of 1:3 (1 Starwood point = 3 Marriott points), and use them for free nights at Marriott or Ritz-Carlton hotels!
