What am I missing? I have a Starwood card - If I transfer 20,000 SPG pts. to Qantas I will get 50,000 Quantas miles. Right?
Do I understand that I can use Qantas miles for an Award Ticket on British Airlines? (or American or other?)
Doesn't Qantas Awards go by the miles to be flown--not just the area ?
ie. British Airways Busniness Class MIA/LHR is 80,000 miles- How many QANTAS miles would I need for a British Airways Business Class award MIA/LHR?
If the Qantas Award costs more miles - where is the savings? Why does everyone seem to say the best use of the Starwood pts. is to transfer to Qantas miles?
Thanks for the enlightenment!
