Hmm, I should have read this before I initiated the transfer of my SPG points to my mom's AA account. Is it still not possible to do that (different names on accounts)?

I initiated a transfer for 40K SPG points (my account) to my mom's AA account on the morning of May 1. Today May 10 and I still don't see the points yet. The points already been taken out of my SPG account. Should I just wait for the 2 weeks or should I be worry that the names on the accounts are different?

So after 2 online chat sessions asking for the follow-up, I was told at first that I'd loose all the points since the names don't match (what?). The second rep told me to check back in 10 business days and they will be doing some research. And it's up to AA to release the points back. Sigh...

I apologize if this is the wrong place to ask, but are there ever promotions for transferring Starpoints to AA miles (i.e. better conversion rate than 20,000 -> 25,000)? I'm thinking to convert some points to miles, but didn't know if there are any promotions to keep an eye out for. I don't need the miles anytime soon.

A question for Starwood Lurker, I initiated a transfer of points from my Mom's SPG account to her AA account and then realized her SPG account has her middle initial and her AA account doesn't. The first and last names as well as the addresses on both accounts are the same. Will the transfer be rejected? TIA!
An update: The request was made on a Tuesday night and the points arrived in my mom's AA account on Sunday. I don't know whether the "missing" middle initial affected the transfer time.

I don't think they check for middle initials, but AA is a better resource of this kind of detail than I will ever be.

Dear lurker,
I need 25000 AA miles to do an award booking. My friend help me to transfer his SPG points to my AA account one month ago. But I did not receive it. I have two questions:
1. Is it against rule to transfer SPG points to other people's AA account?
2. If it is OK, what should we do now?
