喜達屋「八種體驗，完美凝聚」挑戰（SPG "Great Eight" Challenge）

 喜達屋最近公佈了新的大中華區會員挑戰，大中華區會員只要在 11/30 之前註冊，並 2014 年間（1/1 到 12/31 期間的入住皆可計入）六種不同的喜達屋旗下品牌，就可以獲得五晚的菁英會籍日數；如果能住到八種品牌，可以再額外獲得 15,000 點積分，以及神秘禮物一份。

Starwood is running a new promotion for its "Greater China" members. All members in the "Greater China" area can earn five elite-qualifying nights toward status after staying at six of Starwood's brands in this year (from January 1 to December 31, 2014). Members who stay at eight different brands earn an additional 15,000 points and a "surprise gift." Registration must be completed before November 30.

在台灣喜達屋的品牌有五間（福朋、艾美、W、喜來登、威斯汀）。因為入住的飯店並不限於大中華區，如果要輕鬆達成這項挑戰，最快的方法或許是到曼谷一趟，在曼谷即便是比較高檔的艾美、W、瑞吉價格都不會太高，較低階的福朋、雅樂軒更便宜，要達成挑戰不會太難。

There are only five Starwood brands (Four Points, Le Meridien, W, Sheraton, and Westin) in Taiwan. However, stays outside of the "Greater China" region also counts in this promotion. So the fastest way to play this is perhaps a quick trip to Bangkok. All the upscale brands (Le Meridien, W, St. Regis) aren't as pricey as the ones in other places. and the lower brands (Four Points, Aloft) are even cheaper. So it won't be that hard to complete this challenge.
