WHITE PLAINS, NEW YORK Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc. has launched a Starwood Preferred Guest application for BlackBerry smartphones.
SPG App makes it easy for BlackBerry smartphone users to browse and make reservations at 1,000 Starwood properties across the globe. Members can also use the new application to manage current reservations, view their Starpoints balance, check on recent account activity, connect with customer service, get directions and maps to their hotel from their current location, and access TheLobby.com—the SPG blog featuring travel trends and tips.
“SPG members who use this application with their BlackBerry smartphone have an incredible tool at their fingertips. With its range of useful functions and user-friendly interface, the SPG App invites members to tap into and experience the power of the Starwood Preferred Guest network,” says David Godsman, vice president of global web services. “Mobile access is increasingly important for the fast-paced lifestyles of our members and we are committed to providing solutions that enhance their experience while on the go.”
Global technology and consulting services provider CSC developed the mobile application for BlackBerry smartphones. The app is now available for download on BlackBerry App World or by visiting spg.com/bbapp.
To celebrate the launch, SPG will give away 100,000 Starpoints to two members who download and log in to the new application by September 30.
