Best Rate Guarantee Success – The Sheraton Gateway Los Angeles


A great way to build up your Starpoint balance is to find a better rate according to their Best Rate Guarantee.

If you can find a better rate, you can either select an extra 10% off, or 2,000 Starpoints.  Depending on your travel habits, the 2,000 Starpoints is probably a better value.  If you are an infrequent traveler, then the 10% may be a better option.

At a recent stay at the Sheraton Gateway Los Angeles Hotel, I was able to find a better rate and thus was able to bank an extra 2,000 Starpoints.

As a Starwood Preferred Guest, you can either earn 2-4 Starpoints per dollar spent, depending on your “status”.

As you can see, an extra 2,000 Starpoints may be the equivalent of a $1,000 “spend”.  If you can find rates around $100 per night, you are in essence receiving over 20 Starpoints per dollar spent, a great way to increase your Starpoint balance for future award stays.
