This seems like a reasonable cost for miles ($0.02/mile) which is about market value of a mile. However, the miles do NOT count toward Elite Qualification.
This might also be viewed as a way for the airlines to capture more revenue from the consumer while further de-valuing the miles you accrue through actual flights.
For those who travel on the Monday to Thursday schedule, the idea of being out of town Sunday night can be both disheartening and de-moralizing. However, it does come with a few upsides: 1) airports are usually less crowded; 2) flights are less full, making it easier to get the elusive space-available upgrade; and 3) the added rest of not waking up at 4 AM on Monday helps you make it through a busy Monday out of town.
Starwood has just added an incentive to travel out on Sunday with added Starpoints for Thursday through Sunday stays. Register for the promotion here.
Terms and Conditions
Now through September 30, 2008, earn 1,000 bonus Starpoints for Sunday through Thursday stays at participating Starwood hotels and resorts.
*Participation dates vary by hotel. In addition, stays at Four Points® by Sheraton hotels will receive 500 bonus Starpoints rather than 1,000.
