The Starwood Preferred Guest®
Credit Card from American
Express is designed for those
with good credit who frequently
stay at Starwood hotels and
resorts and plan to take
advantage of the various
benefits and services that are
provided.
In reference to the reward
program, one point is earned for
every dollar spent on the card
and double points are earned at
participating Starwood
properties and retail outlets.
Cardholders also earn one
additional point per $1 spent on
qualified purchases through
their membership in the Starwood
Preferred Guest® loyalty
program. Points can be redeemed
for various travel services,
such as free hotel stays and
airline travel. Cardholders also
earn 10,000 bonus points after
their first purchase, which is
enough for up to three free
nights and 15,000 Bonus
Starpoints® after spending
$15,000 In 6 months. Points do
not expire as long as the
account is active within a
one-year period.
Perhaps what is most impressive
about the program is the fact
that cardholders can transfer
earned points to a variety of
frequent flyer programs.
Aside from the reward program,
the card does offer a variety of
benefits such as travel accident
insurance, auto rental
insurance, discounts via the
Offer Zone, and various fraud
protection services (see website
for all benefits available).
The interest rate for purchases
is average (for a reward card),
and there is an annual fee of
$45 that is waived the first
year. There is also a low
introductory rate for purchases
and balance transfers for the
first six months. Future balance
transfers will be 9.99% + the
current Prime Rate.
Therefore, those who can afford
to pay in full each month after
the introductory rate expires
(to avoid finance charges),
frequently stay at Starwood
hotels and resorts (to earn
additional points), and can
accumulate enough points for a
free hotel stay or other
travel-related service within a
two-year period will benefit
most from what the Starwood
Preferred Guest® Credit Card
from American Express has to
offer.
