The $25K that has to be stuck in the account for 6 month could be earning 4.5% out there, which is more than the starwood points.
Its 9 months from what I understand and there are a few different things you can do with the money. CD's, stock investments etc. but you need to keep the 25K in the accounts for 9 months without withdrawing from what I was told.
