Our Take
This the perfect kind of promotion: minimal effort required for a modest gain. 250 bonus Starpoints may not seem much, but they do add up quickly especially if you have several stays planned. Bear in mind that Starpoints are quite valuable and that in August 2018 they will be converted to Marriott Rewards points at a ratio of 1:3.

love it
minimal effort
free points
and i love mobile check in
go spg!!!
This is a nice bonus! Now I have to decide if I want to pair this with my Plat 250 bonus points and decide between a Hyatt Place for 5000 points or an Aloft for 3500 SPG points. I think Hyatt is a better value using the points, but not sure! Any feedback from the board?
Great promotion and I will definitely take advantage of this simple way to earn SPG points. Now, if they only also allowed us to use our phone as the room key, it would be perfect. (As is possible with Hilton) How nice to not even have to stop at the desk at all! I always seem to arrive when there is just one person at the desk and a line a mile long.
Nice perk to know if the room is ready.
@MICHAELJ1 says: “Points for what I would like to do anyway is not a bad thing at all.”
In fact, point earning that doesn’t require any real effort or behavior change at all are simply the best!
Free points I guess.
That’s awesome. Free points!
Who does not like free points? 🙂
Thanks for the heads up!
Hey!
That’s so awesome.
I was about to book a hotel room as a surprise birthday for my husband and I was missing a few miles.
Here’s my chance to book it! Thank you without this my plan would have failed!
🙂
Free is always the best! And it could always come in handy! You never know..
Thanks for this!!
🙂
Easy bonuses are always welcome
Free points is good! But I fail to see how the hotel benefits from online check-in, other than getting a general idea of your intention to show up…
They simply want to encourage people to use the mobile app.
Combining this with my gold bonus, i’m getting 500 points back on a 3000 point weekend free night. Not a bad rebate.
Plat50 x 250 = 12500 free points a year. But does it hurt your upgrade success? Still have to beg at check in?
Always have to beg at check in!
I’m kicking myself for not checking in using the mobile app for a couple of recent stays.
Always check what promotions are available before heading to a hotel…
Thanks for the info. This one is a no-brainer.
Is there a limit on how many times you can use this?
No
Good free points
Any idea if this works on award stays?
Based on the terms, I would say yes.
easy points!
Gotta do it on the next stay!
free is always FUN!
Wow, is there no limit the the number of times you can do this?
Good enough. Not much to complain since you don’t have to go out of your way for anything.
Free points 🙂
Points for what I would like to do anyway is not a bad thing at all. Thanks for the information.
easy bonus
Sounds easy enough!
I love choosing the easy route and also getting extra rewards for it!
Easy 250 points for doing what we do anyway, especially good as we find spg points hard to collect.
That’s so cool! Easy way to receive bonus points and just in time for me.
I was just about to make a reservation… now I know to do it through my SPG mobile app!
Easy bonus, little effort. Right up my alley. Thanks!
Is this also available for Marriott?
No.
Good little bonus for just checking in using the app.
It’s not a ton, but it’s free. So yes, please.
Thanks for the heads up!
