Loyalty Traveler AmexStar 25,000 Starpoints sweepstakes sponsored by Starwood Preferred Guest American Express in conjunction with the April 2012 Tribeca Film Festival New York has a winner:

Here is what the lucky SPG member has to say,

As a new college graduate, vacation funds are very limited. However, with my husband traveling for work nearly every week, I soon learned how to parlay his reward programs into wonderful travel experiences. With the points and free night promotions offered last year through SPG, we were able to vacation for a week in Hawaii, a weekend in London and finally on 11/11/11 we spent a memorable day in Paris, ALL FOR FREE! No other hotel program has the properties that excite us and allow for us to get so much for our money, (when we actually pay, that is…) Although there have been promotions to possibly lure us into staying with other hotel chains, we are not interested in changing our loyalty from SPG.

Congratulations to @adelantando.

Remember that this Tribeca Film Festival giveaway was the first of six SPG Amex Star sweepstakes from Loyalty Traveler for the 2012 year.

Also keep in mind there are four other SPG Amex Star bloggers who also will be running sweepstakes in 2012. I listed three of these bloggers in my previous SPG Amex Star post.

In March 2012 the Loews Lake Las Vegas rebranded as the Westin Lake Las Vegas.  Lake Las Vegas is outside the town of Henderson about 20 miles east of the Las Vegas Strip.

There is also Ravella at Lake Las Vegas, a Dolce Hotel, formerly the Ritz-Carlton Lake Las Vegas and a small shopping and entertainment center with a casino at that part of the lake, a little over one mile from the Westin Resort.  Read More…

Will I fall in love with New York City? American Express Starwood Preferred Guest Amex Stars program has tempted me with some New York City travel this year and I wonder if New York is going to suck me in?

Woody Guthrie, John Steinbeck and John Lennon all ended up living in New York.

New York is a foreign land to me. I have spent more time in the vicinity of the Queen’s Buckingham Palace than I have Queens New York. I have walked the Brooklyn Bridge across Las Vegas Boulevard many times, but never stepped foot on the Brooklyn Bridge in New York.  Read More…

I am a SPG Amex Star for 2012. Stardom seems to be the air I breathe these days. Two weeks ago I did a film piece with Expedia, last week I experienced the Hollywood star treatment during my week in Los Angeles and my schedule was so busy that I had to choose between staying in Los Angeles for the International Pow Wow 2012 travel conference or flying off to New York like Johnny Jet did to also attend the Tribeca Film Festival.
