http://www.doughroller.net/credit-cards/starwood-preferred-guest-american-express-card-review/ is this still true? if yes then this is one hell of a deal.

http://www.spgflights.com/travel/arc.cfm?tab=a&EM=VTY_SPG_FLIGHTS http://www.starwoodhotels.com/preferredguest/account/starpoints/transfer/airline_partner_list.html seems so...

Edit: moderator asked me to expand on the post -- I was looking around what you can do with SPG and first found that review and then verified on the SPG sites. So apparently SPG points can be exchanged for flights on most airlines. As far as I know this is really unusal for a card that's free (for the first year at least).
