Starwood is offering 25% off the points cost of award nights at several hotels in Southeast Asia for stays through the end of May. While Starwood seems to offer such discounts across the board for about a week during the summer, they don’t seem to often offer promotions like this: discounts at properties during their slow seasons. Of course, Starwood offers cash and points awards and properties that participate are usually facing their slow seasons. But it’s rare that they offer similar discounts on all-points awards. Good move, Starwood!

The Starwood American Express is now offering 6000 points with first purchase and 6000 bonus points for hotel stays. Fee waived the first year. (Hat tip to Free Frequent Flyer Miles.)
Amex Transfer Bonus to Starwood
American Express is offering a 50% bonus on transfers to Starwood through March 31. Instead of the usual ratio of 3 Amex points to 1 Starwood point, this offer improves the exchange to 2:1.
America West Improves Credit Card Signup Bonus
The offer for an America West Visa Platinum has improved — 10,000 bonus miles after your first purchase if you apply online.That just more or less brings the signup bonus to industry norms, and so I’d only get this card (which comes with an annual fee) if I really wanted America West miles in particular, though other cards like the Starwood American Express will still earn the points more efficiently for regular spending.
