25% extra points when transferring from hotel partner [~£350 for 31,250 BA Miles]
I haven't seen this posted anywhere else, so apologies if this is discussed elsewhere.
"Your hotel points are now worth 25% extra BA miles"
Hilton, SPG, Radisson, Hyatt, Marriott, Accor and ICG are participating.
SPG is also doing a 20% discount on buying points and has a usual 5K bonus when transferring 20K, so you may well find you're able to get 30K BA miles for $560. This looks a lot better value than 24K miles for £399 on BA.com
Not a bad way to acquire quite a lot of points, although I worry if this is going to further inflate the amount of miles sloshing around the system and hence decrease award availability...
