Free Hotel Stays at the Sheraton, Westin, Le Meridien and W Hotels

Here are some of the benefits of the Starwood Preferred Guest Amex

Earn travel rewards faster than ever before and use them anyway you want.

The Starwood Preferred Guest Credit Card lets you earn free nights at over 825 participating hotels and resorts in 95 countries, including Four Points^® by Sheraton, Sheraton^®, W^® Hotels & Resorts, Le Meridien^®, The Luxury Collection^®, Westin^® and St. Regis^®.

• No blackout dates and free nights start as low as 2,000 Starpoints.
• Transfer Starpoints to over 30 major airlines, almost always on a 1:1 basis, and enjoy a 5,000 Starpoint bonus when you transfer 20,000 Starpoints to miles (enough to get you to the 25,000 miles you need for a free domestic ticket in most programs).

How to Earn Starpoints

• Earn 10,000 Starpoints with your first purchase - enough for up to three free nights at a Category 1 or 2 hotel.
• Earn one Starpoint for every dollar of eligible spending.
• Earn double Starpoints^® on stays and purchases made at select Starwood retail outlets - that's in addition to the Starpoints you earn as a Starwood Preferred Guest^® member.
