In light of the recent devaluation of HHonors points, I now value Starpoints at 4+ HHonors points. After my next statement, I'll be transferring almost all of my DL Amex LOC to my Starwood card, ignoring the always-double-miles opportunities. The only time I'll reverse it is if they run another triple miles promo. I have enough HHonors points and DL miles to cover any Hilton awards for a while, but those Starpoints are a lot tougher to get and a lot easier for me to use.
