Starwood regularly awards travelers with small incentives for things like booking a stay through the SPG app or subscribing to e-statements. This month, SPG members can earn points by updating the security question associated with their user accounts. The promo will reward 150 points for just a few minutes of work, and is available until October 31, 2015.

To change the questions and earn your bonus points, either follow this link, or simply go to the "My Profile" page accessed via the toolbar while you're logged in to your SPG account, and edit your security question in the "My Account" page. After changing the questions, be sure to save your changes.

The Prince de Galles is one of TPG's favorite SPG properties.

150 Starpoints is nowhere near enough to get you a night at the W Hong Kong or the Prince de Galles in Paris (or anywhere else), but it will keep your points from expiring. And with Starwood offering bonuses on a frequent basis, it's certainly worth taking the few minutes to earn the points, as these small offerings add up over time.

SPG is also currently offering up to 10,000 bonus points for staying at Tribute Portfolio properties, such as the Royal Palm South Beach Miami, in addition to running a fall promotion of double points on stays. Of course, you can earn many more Starpoints through Amex's credit card offers — currently, you'll earn 25,000 points after spending $3,000 in the first three months with the Starwood Preferred Guest Credit Card from American Express.
