Do you know how I would go about joining the Starwood Privileges Program.

I know it is a different one to the Preffered Guest Program.

Do you know how I would go about joining the Starwood Privileges Program.

I know it is a different one to the Preffered Guest Program.

The Privilege program is Asia based (including Australia). More info is here:
http://privilege.starwood.com/

IMHO, it's not really that special. Starwood has close to zip presence in Australia these days, and there are few hotels (even in Asia) that are as good/better than the Hilton/Conrad equivalents. Prices can be a little cheaper though.
