As per the press release:
The mobile check-in feature is available exclusively for members who have downloaded the SPG mobile app and booked their stays directly with SPG on its website or in the app. Members will receive a notification approximately 48 to 72 hours before their stay asking if they would like to check-in using the app. On the day of arrival, a notification will be sent to their mobile device alerting them that their room is ready and their key is waiting for them at the front desk, and when they checkout using the SPG app, their folio will be emailed to them.
You can find a complete list of participating properties here. The SPG app is available on both the Apple App Store and Google Play.

[…] More programs are running bonus campaigns. In April, we saw several loyalty programs running promotions of bonus points, either by transferring from partners or by point purchase. They are joined by Avianca selling LifeMiles with up to 135% bonus miles until the end of May, and Alaska Airline, my personal favorite, selling miles with 40% bonus through May 7. Keep in mind that SPG is still having their (possibly last one ever) points sale of 35% discount. If you purchase Starpoints at 35% discount and transfer them to Alaska, you will end up paying even less, so please be sure to think about all options first. Air France, on the other hand, has award sale for July and August, usually 25% to 50% off award price. Oh, and here’s an opportunity to earn an easy 250 Starpoints if you have a coming step at SPG: Check in using the SPG app. […]
lol I checked into a Sheraton April 28. Jeez.

Any registration required?
Nope – so long as you check in using the app, you’ll earn the bonus points.
Dang it! I just stayed at Sheraton in Chicago from 28 – 30 and used Spg app to check in. Do i still qualify?
Unfortunately not – the offer only started today.
