Starwood is offering a free 2,500 points when you add an authorized user to your American Express account. Put this one in the easy column since it took about 30 seconds.
I’m a fan of easy Starwood points since we redeemed them for free hotels on our Disney trip [1] and for free hotels on holiday ski trips [2].
It’s our Free Money [3] Friday offer.

More on Starwood American Express
Email Offer. I didn’t receive the email offer, but I did use the direct link above without any problems. The source of the link was Reddit [5].
Starwood Card. If you don’t have a Starwood American Express card, the current sign up bonus is 25,000 points. The Starwood American Express card is currently listed in our credit card directory [6].
Points Posting. While the offer states you’ll get your points in 8-12 weeks, I added my authorized user earlier this week and got my points two days later!
