So there you have it. The feedback on FlyerTalk is mostly negative but it appears the popular choice is the triple Starpoints for 15 nights. There are so many variables in play here that it’s really hard to pinpoint one item and say this is your safest bet.
For the leisure traveler, one of the Starpoints options is probably the way to go. However, just like choosing your earnings period, it all depends on what your travel plans are.
I don’t have too many Starwood stays planned so I’ll probably be going with the 500 Starpoints at Sheraton because I can book a few cheap nights if needed. What option will you be going with?
