Also, i checked the transfer to airline miles info and seems starpoints to emirates is a 1:1 transfer and not 1:1.25 as you say ?
Am presently in bangkok for few months so no option for India hotels but Bkk hotels surely ..
Am a novice in this .. seek advise..
The 500 miles I had mentioned was directly with skywards .
(Hilton for example) and not via spg. At the Hilton I give my skywards number and
500 miles credit for each stay
The. 5000 bonus miles is when you convert star points to skywards miles
In tranches of 20000. That means 20k star points is equal to 25k skywards.
