I do however agree with the suggestions of other members that rather than create a separate thread for every question or idea that we should have some threads that go by category. So perhaps we could start one called "Hotels" and merge this post in to that.
I've asked the mods to change the title to "Hotel Transfer Points" or something similar, and I'll try to keep it updated for all transfer options.
The FAQ also states that a minimum of 850 miles must be transferred in, so no more SPG Plat 1 starpoint => 1 mile transfers, which means that as an SPG Gold with a 1,500 starpoint minimum transfer, I might as well "waste" the extra 650 starpoints and just do the transfer myself, as the incremental cost over transferring just 850 starpoints from some other SPG plat member is minimal.
