Starwood Preferred Guest - Please someone clarify with some knowledge- SPG to QF tfr.

Can someone please confirm this is still the
case. It shows as so on my login at SPG.com.
If I tfr 20,000 SPG points I will get 50,000
QF points which includes the bonus. Thanks

Yes. But, don't ask me how long it will take...please. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

The formula is very simple: For every 20K in Starpoints moved over, Starwood adds another 5K, making 25K Starpoints. Each of these Starpoints is worth 2 Qantas FF program points. Thus 20K Starpoints will yield 50K Qantas points. But you must do this transaction in units of 20K Starpoints to benefit from the bonus. And there is a daily transfer limit.

I just transfered over 100,000 points all at once. They assured me three times that I did not have to do it in 20k chunks for QF. Supposedly this is an issue for airlines where you can only transfer less than 40k miles at a time.

Given the two for one deal and the extra 25% for the 20k transfers and the extra 20% for the current targeted Starwood Optima program, I will probably do this one more time on Monday.
