New SPG Culinary Moments
SPG Moments offers really, really cool experiences that are very difficult to get on your own, in exchange for Starpoints.
You can do a meet-n-greet with a celebrity or a sports star, or attend a concert right from the SPG Suite and get special backstage access.
Dan of Dan’s Deals redeemed Starpoints for a SPG Moments package where he got to throw out the first pitch at a special game in the World Series, and Ed of Pizza in Motion got his wife a one-on-one tennis lesson with tennis great Andre Agassi.
Rather than simply redeeming points for a hotel stay or transferring them to another program to use as airline miles, these experience packages give you more than your money’s worth.
With SPG’s new lineup of Culinary moments, here are some of the latest experiences you can bid on –
• Meet Chef Mario Batali during a cocktail hour at Del Posto restaurant, receive a signed copy of “The Del Posto Cookbook”, then have a multi-course tasting menu with wine.

For those not into the foodie scene there are also sports, music and culture moments and there’s even a ‘coming soon’ area where you can get a preview of the upcoming auctions (it looks like some upcoming packages include adventures with Lindblad Expeditions and National Geographic).
