Features of Starwood Preferred Guest Card

Starwood Preferred Guest Card is a travel rewards credit card (in the same category as the Citi PremierPass Card and Discover Escape Card) that earns cardholders rewards points that can be redeemed for airline tickets, hotel stays, or room upgrade. There are several ways you can earn Starpoints, in addition to the bonus points:

  • You earn 1 point for every dollar you spend on every day items;
  • You can also earn double points when you stay and make purchases on over 890 participating Starwood hotels and resorts in 95 countries;
  • You can earn an additional point for every dollar spent at Starwood hotels and resorts when joining the Starwood Preferred Guest loyalty program (enrollment in the program is automatic for the cardholder).

In addition, as a cardholder, you also enjoy some extra services from American Express with the Starwood card for either shopping or travel, including:

  • Return protection: Guarantees your satisfaction on designated items within 90 days from the date of purchase.
  • Extended warranty: Mirrors manufacturers’ warranties for covered products purchased with your Card account, for up to one additional year.
  • Purchase protection: Protects covered items for up to 90 days from the date of purchase if it is stolen or accidentally damaged.
  • Emergency check-in: Check into a hotel and charge your stay with the Card, even if your Card has been lost or stolen.
  • Assured reservations: Guarantee your hotel reservations with your Card and your room will be waiting for you even if you arrive late, or the hotel will provide you with a comparable room nearby, along with transportation to your new location.
  • Travel accident insurance: Provides up to $100,000 in accidental death and dismemberment insurance.

All these benefits come with a $45 annual fee, though it is waived for the first year.
