Most of my vacations abroad are either cruise related or visiting family so I rarely need them for hotel stays (I'm assuming that is why you're saying it's best to hang on to the points rather than transfer them).
Will the fact that I have the confirmation email etc. from *wood buy me extra time proving that the points are forthcoming? Guess I need to get an understanding Delta agent as it sounds like I'm sure going to need the extension. Thanks again for your responses.
I have transfered Starwood to airlines 20,000 to 25,000, when I needed more miles ... There is nothing wrong with it ... especially, when you are lucky to get a business class flight.
It took about 1 1/2 week before the miles posted.
Delta would hold the flight only 48 hours? If I am remember it correct, but I am not sure, Delta was holding a flight for me for 14 days ...
Good luck!
