Many FlyerTalkers here have touted how the Amex Sheraton can give you 25000 frequent flyer points for 20000 dollars spent on the card. But, some fine print makes me wonder.

I just got the card and was looking over the enclosed brochure and fine print, and found this footnote: "25,000 frequent flyer miles on any participating airline award can only be redeemed with Starpoints earned at Starwood Hotels & Resorts or Preferred Guest earnings partners. Starpoint bonus based on a 1-to-1 ratio. Equivalent bonus will be awarded in accordance with other conversion rates."

It seems possible to interpret this as saying that the points I earn from non-Starwood hotel charges to the card are not eligible for the 1:25 exchange rate.

So my question is, has anyone actually done the transfer yet with starpoints earned from regular non-Starwood purchases on the card?
