If the points showed up from Marriott, would you not anticipate that AA may in fact credit the 25/35% bonus within 7 days per the terms? From what I've seen of the Nights and Flights, the AA miles convert much like the regular points to AA conversion. How would AA differentiate?
Another poster received their conversion from hotel to AA and AA posted the bonus all within the past day? This bonus just came out yesterday afternoon???

If you transfer Starpoints from your SPG account to her AA account, American Airlines AAdvantage will reject the transfer. The names on the accounts have to match.

Several more good questions have been raised – here are the answers:
-The bonus miles only apply to point-to-mile conversions. Hotel stays and travel packages are easily distinguishable when they come to us for posting and they are not eligible for this promotion. And when they come to us for posting it's by "transaction date" not "posting date."

Can you or someone from SPG confirm whether distinguishable information is sent to the airlines from SPG when it's a N&F award?

Since the next question will be "when will I see the points in my AA account", I've read thru recent posts in this thread:
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/starw...ints-aa-3.html
It appears that the sweep occurs early Monday mornings.

In that respect, it really isn't combined so I don't see how that conflicts with what their other concerns are with other hoteliers' frequent stay program awards.

Wow, that's going to be interesting for me on the next two Mondays. I decided yesterday to convert all my Starpoints into AA miles (I had about 930K SPG points) and am going to convert 60,000 a day until they are gone. That means, for two Mondays, I should have something like 708K AA miles post (assuming AA is fast with the bonus). Holy Cow!

Starwood allows conversion of 79,999 points within a 24 hour period. Since the 5000 mile bonus is on multiples of 20,000, we get maximum miles by converting no more than 60,000 points every 24 hours. Heck, I'd love to convert 920K points all at once at be done with it, but the Starwood rules don't allow it.

Its actually the transaction date that counts...so you can redeem 60k per day until 6/30. The bonus kicks in 7 days after each set of AA miles drops into account.
Points and bonus can credit after 6/30 date but the hotel transaction to move from hotel points to AA miles has to occur on or before 6/30.
If you are redeeming 930K SPG = 60K per day with last day @ 30K =
15 x 75000 = 1,125,000
15 x 26250 = 393,750
1 x 35000 = 35,000
1 x 12250 = 12,250
--------------------------
= 1,566,000 AA miles
Wow.
But, you have to be absolutely sure you redeem with 24 hours between or you may not get all 16 transactions in before the 6/30 deadline.

That said, I'm going to set an alarm for when the 24 hours is up so I can do the next one as soon as possible.

There are going to be a lot of people hitting the 1MM/2MM/4MM marks on AA from this.
