I value SPG at 2c/point and Alaska Miles at 1.8c/mile. So with the bonus I am getting 2.93c/mile! That's extra 46.25% of value! Tomorrow is the last day for transfer, so everyone has at least 1 day to think about it
Though you can often get 4-6c/SPG point. I would always prefer to have more SPG points than any airline miles.
