I am not the board monitor, and I if have posted anything inappropriately feel free to point it out.

When you request airline miles on a hotel stay, you are not transferring points from the hotel frequent guest program to the airline. For example with Starwood, there is a difference between requesting airline miles for the stay versus requesting Starwood points for the stay and later transferring the Starwood points to an airline.
