how long has it been taking for people to get the starwoood points, then convert them to airline points?
If I bought this week could I have my miles by the end of next month?</font>
It seems risky in my mind to rely on a quick transfer. You get the Starwood points in about a week, then the transfer from Starwood to Qantas takes forever, between four and eight weeks. They say it takes between two and four weeks, but nobody in this forum could confirm that.
There are certain rumors on how the actual transfer works, my experience shows me that it doesn't always work like that. I am waiting now for for weeks, Starwood and Qantas don't seem to care as they either don't reply to my faxes and emails or tell me there is nothing they can do to speed up the process, which is Bull****! Randy can do it in less than a week, the big players like Starwood and Qantas need more than a month? Come on!
