Just completed a SPG to Virgin Atlantic to Hilton. Much faster than advertised
- SPG to Virgin Atlantic was 4 days (they said 2 weeks)
- Virgin Atlantic to Hilton was one week (they said 30 days)
20K SPG --> 25K Virgin Atlantic
25K VS --> 50K Hilton
Not too bad - 20K SPG -- > 50K HH in less than 2 weeks.

The issue for me is that there are so many places we go where there is no Starwood property and there is almost always an HHonors hotel that we like. For example, we go to the Santa Barbara area - usually stay at the Doubletree. My kids live in central NH, no Starwood anywhere near there. No Starwood near Lake Tahoe, etc etc.

So it depends which miles you're interested in as to whether SPG is useful for miles.
