What happens to my SPG membership if I don’t stay for a while?

If a member of the Starwood Preferred Guest program does not stay at a participating property for an extended period, it may lead to the expiration of their membership. Starwood has specific policies regarding inactivity and expiration, which typically indicate that if there is no account activity for a period of twelve months, the member's account may be subject to closure. This means that any accrued Starwood Points could potentially be forfeited. To maintain an active membership, it is advisable for members to engage in qualifying activities, such as staying at hotels, redeeming points for rewards, or utilizing partner services. Additionally, members can check their account status and see if there are any incentives available that may help in keeping their account active. For the most accurate and updated information regarding membership status and point expiration, it is beneficial to refer to the current Starwood Preferred Guest web page, which outlines these policies and provides details specific to the member's situation.
