Keeping in mind the 2-1 ratio for non direct-deposit transfer of starpoints to united miles,

If one transfers 20000 starpoints to United, will the 5000 bonus starpoints also become half to 2500 miles? Anyone who did this could confirm? Or could Mr Lurker confirm this please.

When I called Preferred Guest, I got conflicting info from two different reps and thought I'll ask the experts here.

thx
