White Plains, NY (PRWEB) April 15, 2009 -- Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. (NYSE:HOT) is encouraging and rewarding travel with the launch of its richest promotion yet - SPG Free Weekends.
With this unprecedented offer, both existing and new members of the Starwood Preferred Guest® program (SPG) who stay two times at any of Starwood's hotels between May 1 and July 31, 2009 can earn one free weekend night (Friday, Saturday or Sunday). There are no limits to the number of free weekend nights that can be earned, and earned nights can be combined to make a longer weekend stay.

"With today's challenges, it is even more important that we reward consumers around the world with an easy, hassle-free opportunity to get away for much needed rest and relaxation. It's like our own 'travel stimulus' program."
