The SPG Twice as Nice offer follows on the success of a number of global dining promotions that SPG rolled out in 2013. Steven Taylor, Vice President Marketing, Starwood Hotels & Resorts Europe, Middle East and Africa, said, We know our SPG members have an appetite for new experiences. Combining the opportunity to earn additional Starpoints without booking into a hotel means our members can benefit from SPG even when they are not actively travelling.

The Twice as Nice bonus Starpoints are additional to the rewards that members receive through the SPG loyalty programme and can similarly be redeemed on free nights and flights. Those wishing to participate need to register, for free, any time before 30 April, 2014, by visiting www.SPG.com/twiceasnice, in order to receive the extra points. Guests should simply present their membership card on arrival at their chosen restaurant and Starpoints will automatically be credited to their accounts for any meal enjoyed during the promotional period.
