Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. is encouraging and rewarding travel with the launch of SPG Free Weekends.

Members of the Starwood Preferred Guest program (SPG) who stay two times at any of Starwood's hotels between May 1 and July 31 can earn one free weekend night (Friday, Saturday or Sunday). There are no limits to the number of free weekend nights that can be earned, and earned nights can be combined to make a longer weekend stay. The nights are redeemable without blackout dates through the end of September.

The SPG Free Weekends promotion allows loyal guests, as well as those who are new to Starwood, to earn and redeem reward nights at any combination of more than 875 hotels around the world within the company's portfolio of nine distinctive and compelling brands -- including Westin, Sheraton, Aloft, St. Regis and more. --Nina Lentini
