50,000 Starwood Starpoints Giveaway

Welcome to The Vacation Gals’ 50,000 Starwood Starpoints giveaway! What would you do if you won this 50,000 Starwood Starpoints giveaway? That’s a LOT of travel/hotel points, and I’m so happy to be able to help someone win it. People who sign up for the SPG Credit card from American Express find many benefits come with card membership. Members’ only savings, such as 35 percent off, complimentary breakfasts and 500 bonus Starpoints are some cardholder benefits that may be found upon booking travel and hotel reservations. I recommend this card for travel lovers!

Over the Christmas holiday, I was given the chance to treat myself and my family to a vacation at any Starwood property, anywhere in the world. My kids and spouse love Hawaii (as do I), so we spent our Christmas vacation at the Westin Ka’anapali Ocean Resort Villas in Maui. It was part of a pretty wonderful family travel experience; I’m thankful for having been in Starwood’s Amex Stars blogger partnership program this past year.

But you’re wondering about the 50,000 Starwood Starpoints giveaway. It’s a simple giveaway, folks; think for a minute about all the wonderful Starwood properties in the United States. Assuming you live in the Americas, which one could you most easily drive to? If you’re entering this giveaway from another continent, which Starwood hotel in the USA would you most like to visit? Enter your closest or most wanted Starwood hotel or resort in the comments section below, and the winner will be chosen at random.
