Just a quick reminder that June 30th is the last day to register for Starwood‘s ‘Double Take’ promotion.

My original post on this promotion is here.  Basically, you will earn double points on every stay at a Sheraton, Westin, W, aloft, Four Points, St Regis, Le Meridien, Luxury Collection etc property, plus 500 bonus points if you book via their Apple or Android apps.

The important thing is that the promotion runs until 31st July, even though registration closes on 30th June.

If you think you might end up in a Starwood property during July, however slim the chance seems at the moment, you should pop over to this website in the next three days and register.
