When Starwood customer contact centers are experiencing high call volumes, the following page:
http://www.starwoodhotels.com/helpdesk/helpdesk.html
is "unlocked" and you can get the same 500 Starpoints. The only thing that this special page does for you is automatically enter the "99999999" code in the "Travel Agent # (ARC/IATA/TIDS)" field.
We have found that you can use this technique anytime. No need to wait for Starwood to "unlock" their special page.
Just go ahead and enter the "99999999" code yourself in the "Travel Agent # (ARC/IATA/TIDS)" field, any time you need to make a reservation.
