New here, hopefully I post in the right forum...

I'm trying to find out what is the conversion rate from airmiles (airmiles.ca) to Starwood points? One online calculator states it is 1:1, but I'm not sure that makes sense since I highly doubt it takes 20 000 airmiles to book 1 night at a category 6 Starwood property. The airmiles website has no info on the correspoint points required and phone service is not available right now.

For reference, I am looking at the Starwoods in Waikiki (Sheraton Waikiki or Royal Hawaiaan). I am having a hard time booking a flight with airmiles so trying to see if it is worth it to use them for the hotel portion of the trip.

thanks!
