Any recent redemption?

Could this have anything to do with it? Are you trying to do this from outside the US? (I can't remember ever doing anything on points.com driven stuff while outside the country, but I seem to recall from other threads that some peope who were based outside the US had trouble using points.com based stuff.)Also, at what point are you getting this message? At the last step (where you would have been charged the $30 had it succeeded) or earlier?

Over to the left of your message it says in your profile:

P.S. It amazes me, that security people still believe in GeoIP filtering.

I am looking to transfer points over to Starwood. The maximum for one transaction seems to be 100,000 miles with a $30 fee. However, there is a note indicating that I can transfer up to 150,000 miles a year. Does this mean I need to do two transactions and pay the $30 twice? Anyone know if there is someone I can call to do 150,000 miles with one $30 fee?

Thanks. The link given here also seems to work for Starwood which is why I posted here.

I just went to http://redeemaamiles.points.com and like always before (in the past half year, anyway), all I see (in the Award Options info before logging in, as well as after logging in) is Hilton HHonors and Priorirty Club. No Starwood visible. (And that's the only link I knew to work for HHonors any more.)

What link are you talking about?

Thanks for posting. This was nice while it lasted, and was the primary thing that we did with our AA miles. This is a pretty substantial loss to us. Now I'll have to figure out how the booking directly via AA works, although my reading suggests that it doesn't cover all hotels the way having the HH points did.
And I'm sure that writing them to try and get it back won't help....
Cheers.

For those who don't know, while transferring AA miles to HH points seems to be all gone now, the ability to earn HH points quickly is not gone (for those in the US at least), because this card:

is churnable as fast as the Citi AA credit cards were up until a few years ago.

Hilton HHonors to AAdvantage Transfer--how long?
Hello Everyone!
Just wondering how long it actually takes to transfer HHonors points to your AAdvantage account.
Just did a transfer for 1,500 miles to top off my account and was wondering if it actually takes 30 days to transfer or if there's a way to speed up the process.
Thanks!

Expect anywhere from 1-4 weeks. I have done transfers to/from Hilton a handful of times this year, and the timing has varied widely.
