SPG --> BA

Thanks for posting this OP - I too just read the email from BA regarding the 25% bonus.
Boy, is BA in a giving mood!! - this in addition to the 20% discount on redemption on BA for Chase BA cardholders in the US.

One more question to see if I can extract further value from this:

I've got an SPG award stay coming up -40k for 5nights....(5th nite free).

I've been thinking of changing the above SPG redemption to the 70K SPG --> (5nights + 50K miles on an airline).

So the question is, in the past, have such 50K transfers also received the 25% bonus at BA?

Thanks!
-G
