i got 2 1000 pt bonuses also, but with no description. I believe these were Delta credit card spend and Delta shopping.
I haven't transferred any hotel points or AMEX MR points yet. Anyone only transfer points and received the 1000 points bonus yet? I say "only" because there is no description for bonus points, so best data point would be someone who only transferred points out from a partner.

How does one transfer only ONE Starpoint?
Minimum amount of Starpoints that one can transfer is 2,500.
This ain't worth it even for 1,000 bonus Skymiles.
Does one need an SPG Amex card to transfer only 1 Starpoint?

Edit: just saw my bonus post for two partner offers. I assume it's for the skymiles shopping and for Lyft, which are the only two I've used. I also got 60 points for taking a Lyft to the airport. However, I also earned 30 jetblue points for my ride to the airport (it texted me to let me know) so it seems like you can double dip with lyft rides to the airport?

Here's an idea for anyone contemplating a cheap way to generate SuperShuttle activity, recycled from the USAirways Grand Slam promotion a few years ago:
The cheapest possible ride in the system is apparently one-way PHX -> aLoft Phoenix Airport. With promo code UYR59, the rate is $10.
In the USAirways promo, it counted even for a no show, so lots of folks scheduled mid-day rides (so that no extra shuttle would be sent) and simply no-showed.
Not sure I'm up for spending $10 for 1050 miles without knowing for sure it would credit but the idea is out there.
