MilesBuzz! - Starwood to Qantas 1:2 transfer today!

I just tried transferring Starwood Points to Qantas on spg.com and it still shows the 1:2 ratio. I tried transferring 20,000 Starpoints to Qantas and it showed me the following:

Starpoints to transfer: 20000
Bonus Starpoints: 5000
Conversion ratio: 1:2

Miles to
be received: 50000

I do not know if Starwood has just not updated their website or there is a change of mind, but for anyone who missed the opportunity, it might be worth trying and printing out the confirmation screens in case of a dispute!

Beware. Given Starwood's track record, they may not honor it even if you have a printout verifying your claim.

I'm hoping B Watson will chime in with more elaborate thoughts on the matter. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

FYI United stills shows 1:1 as of today 1-1-03. Have a GREAT NEW year!!

I have the miles coming to my Starwood account but it wont post for another day or so. I also saw the 1:2 today...I just hope that it holds until my points post!

well my points posted today but the Qantas offer is now 1:1

so did yourpoints post at 1:! or 1:2?...

wolverine, the points that I was referring to were Starwood points. I needed 20k to get 50k in qantas. I was a day late and a donut short...so, at the moment my 20k is in hold looking for a way out.
