The email is correct. SPG only transfers 75K. AA adds the additional 20% or another 15K for a total of 90K AA miles for your 60K SPG Starpoints.

My SPG points will expire in Sept and I was going to transfer to BA. And now with this AA promotion I can't decide.
Have been learning more of AA's new changes. Want to book flight from ORD to Taiwan and can't figure out the routing. Anyone familiar with how to book with AA miles for partner's airline? Can I have a stop over at Hong Kong? Do I need to call to book? Thank you!

Stopovers have been eliminated. However if you are willing to pay more miles, you can take a one-way to HKG and then another to TPE.

No QF Availability
I have been checking QF availability with both BA and AA and found Nada.....Not even Economy. Qantas has blacked out most everything with miles for the next 4 months.....which is strange as their flights are not flying full with the Thailand mess.......

No. My last transfer was initiated on July 16 and has already posted to the AA account. It is something else.

My, that was quick. Initiated the transfer the evening of the 17th, and it is already in my AA account. ^
