Starwood free nights - where to earn and burn?

[aus_flyer]

As you're probably aware, SPG are offering 1 free weekend night for every 2 stays.

I thought it would be interesting to ask for suggestions as to where you might go to earn the nights, and more importantly - where would you spend the free nights?

Some of the Starwood properties are excluded - but what are some of their best properties that are included?

Good opportunity to stay cheap, then stay free at somewhere nice and expensive!

Locally, stay at the Four Points Geelong or Westin Auckland (at 50% off), since they're cheap.

Where will you use the summer free nights you earn? - FlyerTalk Forums

Not sure where I'd burn the nights, yet...

Thanks for the discount link Futaris - I have just booked a night at the Westin Auckland @ 199NZD.

Back to the promo - if the cost comes out of your pocket, 2 nights at $150AUD = $300 spent, which is alot of $$$ imo for 1 free weekend night - unless you are already travelling during that time (which I am) guess it can be quite useful to try and earn a few free nights from otherwise nothing.
