Hi just wondering what bonus this is for? I don't think I've got that offer. May have switched off the emails for it! Could the bonus offer have been applied to the marriott hotel and airline package transfer of the airline points? Thanks in advance.

I transferred SPG points to ANA on 13 April ( Friday 4 PM India time) & it posted in ANA on 17 April ( Tuesday 11PM india time) , second lot of SPG points transferred on 14 April ( Saturday , 4.30 PM IST) But this lot not posted in ANA till now ( 21 April, 2 PM IST) .... Its bit confusing . At what frequency they transfer i am not able to comprehend.

Will add this to the Wiki - just completed a transfer to Asiana. Initiated transfer of 60k on April 9, and 40k more on April 10. All miles (including SPG bonus for a total of 125k) just showed up in my account in the evening (US Eastern Time) on April 22. Fortunately the *A availability I'm planning to book is still there!

Update: SPG points finally got transferred to SQ - took almost a month, after a few emails. Not happy. Suspected SQ was the problem, as transfers to BA have had no issue - took 3 days.

SQ points finally credited, also after just under a month. Crazy.

I ended up transferring points seperately from Amex and paying a little more just to secure an award that would otherwise have disappeared. These transfer times make SPG -> SQ a no go.

This is a question regarding internal transfers. If asked for proof of residence, can a bank statement be sufficient? My mom resides with us and does not drive (so no drivers license). She does not have any utility bill under her name, since my husband and I pay for everything around the house. She has a bank account and has paper statements indicating her address, which is our address, obviously.

@Starwood Lurker?

Much thanks!

@Starwood Lurker?

Much thanks!
A bank statement is not listed as one of the four documents that are acceptable. The list is:

1. Drivers License
2. Passport
3. Household bill (must have name and address listed)
4. Voter’s registration

One or more of these would need to be faxed to 519-633-3658. She should be sure to list her full name and Starwood Preferred Guest account number on the fax.

Best regards,

Does anyone know how long it takes to transfer to Avianca? Officially, it's 7-10 business days, but wondering if it actually takes this long

Thanks

Transfer to Aegean took 11.5 days. Transfer to UA took 12.5(!) days (and I missed the seat I wanted). Added to Wiki.

How long it takes to do internal transfer?

Initiate a transfer from my husband's account to my account on Thursday afternoon. Still waiting for the points.
Both SPG accounts have the same and the only address since joined the program many years ago.
