Your Friday dose of nice: It’s good to have options, especially when it comes to your travel schedule.
With the upcoming SPG Nice Choice promotion, members can choose their earning period from 3 options: May-July, June-August, or July-September.
A few details about SPG’s next promotion, SPG Nice Choice. This promotion will be all about you. Members will have the unique opportunity to choose when, what and how you want to earn at any of our more than 1,000 hotels and resorts worldwide that participate in the SPG program (that’s right, no opt-out list!).
That’s more choice than ever, and an industry first. Registration begins May 1, 2012 (a ‘coming soon’ page will be up shortly at spg.com/nicechoice). We’ll release more details about the types of Awards and offers on Facebook and Twitter over the next several weeks, so don’t forget to “like” and “follow” us.
The Promotion Home Page is still pretty bare, but I’m looking forward to more hints about what the 11 other options will be!
Black background and white text so hard to read.

If these details are correct, it looks like the free nights will be a disappointment compared to last year’s stay 3 get 1 free promo!
I think given this scenario, I’d go with the Starpoints bonus
that post is a hoax…. rumor mill
6 nights/3K points is 500 points/night. Given that, it’s entirely possible that triple points after 15 nights will be the best deal here, depending on what they base “triple” on (just single base points, or tripling the 2 points/$ base for Platinums, etc.). As always, the devil will be in the details…
Looks like Gary has also posted about this today on View from the Wing
Even if it’s just speculation…it’s getting some good traction.
@Jamison – maybe…maybe not….that’s why it’s speculation
fwiw. Here is another vote to ditch white text on black background.
