I can confirm SPG. Perhaps, call or chat with Amex or SPG support to ask, if you are having issues.

Thank you. I have updated the Wikiposts of the relevant threads to reflect my best guess with is that this year the Starwood transfer bonus is restricted to Centurion and Platinum cardholders, and the Hilton transfer bonus is only offered to those who do not have those cards.

Another reply for data:

We've got Business Green and Business Gold and the only offer I see is the Virgin Atlantic one for 35%.

No hotel special offers unless they are listed in a different space?

My HH promo arrow disappeared, but promo is still there when I click to it, don't judge by arrow picture, may be the cashe or something. Virgin still has the arrow though.

I got it via regular mail. I don't see it mentioned in the flyer but checking it via my account it shows. Small business gold.

280 TrueBlue Points =

Any conjecture of a bonus for transfers from MR to DL Skymiles before the DL changes go into effect at the beginning of the year?

It's been three years since a DL transfer bonus... The odds are not good.

Considering they are putting curbs on the how much you can transfer in, I don't DL wants any more Amex. They would rather you use the DL Amex and trap your pesos.
