I'm seeking a bit of advice, as despite being an SPG member since 99' - I've never stayed at a single one of their properties. I'm usually a Hilton man (only a HHonours Blue, so no status matching there).
I'm planning a trip with friends to Asia in November, and from looking around all the Sheraton properties are within our desired price point (~AUD200/night) and receive consistently good reviews.
Our current plans are for November this year, and consist of:

I'm planning a trip with friends to Asia in November, and from looking around all the Sheraton properties are within our desired price point (~AUD200/night) and receive consistently good reviews.
Our current plans are for November this year, and consist of:
- 3 nights Sheraton Miyako Tokyo
- 2 nights Sheraton Miyako Osaka
- 2-3 nights Sheraton Grande Wakerhill, Korea
- Best rates: What is the best way to book that delivers the best rate at SPG properties, and are there discount codes available which help reduce the rate?
- Earning bonuses: Are there any good earning bonuses out there I should consider apply for that can be used to maximise SPG points?
- Challenges: With 7-8 nights on the hop, is there any challenges I could/should use to bump up a level in SPG?
- Best usage of points & expiry: I see that QF isn't a transfer partner for SPG, if they were I would have just flipped them there. Do SPG points ever expire, and considering I'd never be staying in a property higher than Cat3 is there value in keeping the points with SPG and using them for free nights or other offers within the program?
Thanks all in advance for advice and assistance.
