Additionally, four Category 4 through 6 properties, The Resort at Singer Island, Pine Cliff Residences, Sheraton Vistana Villages International Drive, and Sheraton Vistana Resort Lake Buena Vista, are all-suite properties and do not have standard rooms; therefore, a Free Weekend Night Award cannot be redeemed at these locations.
Is a Free Weekend Night Award valid for existing reservations?
Free Weekend Night Awards may not be automatically used in place of an existing paid or other Award reservation. Members may cancel an existing reservation and attempt to rebook the same stay in order to use a Free Weekend Night Award, but they risk losing availability, and cancellation fees could apply.
I have an existing reservation. Can that count toward earning a Free Weekend Night Award?
Yes, as long as the member is registered for the promotion, the rate is a Starpoints eligible room rate during the promotion earning dates, and the stay posts to the member's account prior to the promotion ending.

If I check in before May 1 or check out after July 31, do I still earn credit for that stay?
As long as one (1) eligible night occurs during the eligibility earning window (May 1–July 31), a member would earn a credit for that stay toward a Free Weekend Night Award.
If I earn more than one Free Weekend Night Award, can I use them on consecutive dates under one reservation? Can I use them for separate stays on different weekends?
Yes. Once a member has earned two or three Free Weekend Night Awards, he or she can redeem them separately on different weekends or consecutively for an entire weekend.
Can I use my Free Weekend Night Award as part of a longer stay that has paid nights?
Yes. Free Weekend Night Awards can be used alone or as part of a longer stay.
Can I use my Free Weekend Night Award as part of a longer stay that has other free nights redeemed?
Yes.
Can I use Starpoints® to upgrade my Free Weekend Night Award to a better room?
A member may check on the availability of an upgrade at the hotel by using Instant Upgrade Awards. Upgrades on Free Weekend Night Awards cannot, however, be done online nor through customer service ahead of the reservation.

Do Free Weekend Night Awards combined with other free nights qualify me for 5th night free redemptions?
No, they do not.
Can I gift my Free Weekend Night Award?
Awards are not transferrable and may not be given as a gift.
What would happen if I make a reservation using my Free Weekend Night Award and then cancel it? Do I lose it?
No. As long as you cancel your stay in accordance with the hotel's cancellation policy and additional weekends remain in the redemption period (May 8–September 27, 2009), you may use your Award on a subsequent weekend up to and including September 27, 2009.
Do I earn Starpoints for Free Weekend Night Awards?
Starpoints may still be earned on all eligible incidental charges when staying on Free Weekend Night Awards.
