So now you have to work it out yourself?
Thanks though!
SPG has a points sale on right now so if you buy Starwood points it can be around USD 0.018 per mile when transferred to Emirates in 20,000 mile blocks (20k+5k SPG transfer bonus).
Better than the 0.04 USD per EK mile on their website. However, those transactions on EK do count as "airline spend" so you might have some additional benefit using a rewards card to buy these points.
Hope this helps!
