Exactly. Category 4 properties go from 10K/night to 6K with N&F.

if i do a nights and flights transfer, can i make the hotel room reservations later down the line? basically like putting it on hold?
|
Yikes - I'm less than 800 miles shy of 40K spg points. Has anyone had any luck requesting SPG to front the points for being a loyal customer?

I've only used N&F once. My perspective was sort of opposite what I've suggested to others here. I was definitely booking a Cat4 Fifth Night Free award, so I viewed it as an opportunity to get 50K miles for just 30K more Starpoints than I was already planning to spend on the FNF award. Normally, I still value my points more than that, but I had secured some good award flights in Business Class. (Both the flights and hotel were for our ski trip to Davos, Switzerland, last year. OT: I seriously don't know why no one has expressed interest in booking C&P awards in Davos this winter. They're available for every single night in Feb & March.) |

wouldn't 60,000 AA points convert to 120,000 HH points? or am I missing a step?

you can just buy spg points. |
I'm keeping my SPG points, despite the lure of this promo of converting SPG points to AA miles (which I don't need), or HH points (I'll take all I can get). I'm kinda conflicted as to exactly what I'm going to do, if anything, since the promo involves more than just SPG.
I realize we all have different needs, and wants. Grabbing more AA miles is not at the top of my list. |
SOLD!
I will be cashing in Many Starpoints if this indeed is the rate of exchange. Hotels...While I prefer Starwood by far, when I am flying to AU or EZE, IST etc... the miles are far more valuable for F & J class seats. This week I am in F class on JFK-HKG on Cathay and mileage in this case far trumps hotel points. $17,000 ticket 135,000 miles....great deal.
My only fear is that with fewer planes flying and flight loads quite full, the aadvantage program will soon raise their redemption rates once many of us have transferred in. Time will tell. Happy Travels. |
Can anyone confirm that no registration is needed?
Thanks |
Has it been verified that the SPG gets the % bonus?
Seems to me that AA references only hotel points programs as opposed to the umbrela of the SPG ownership group. |

If you click on one of the Starwood hotel brands on the AA webpage, you will see language indicating that the bonus extends to transfers from Starwood. (Besides, how else would one transfer "points" earned at a Sheraton or a Westin except through SPG?)
