As a reminder for those of you with so many starpoints, that you don't know what to do with them, I need 2 nights at the W San Francisco November 9-11.

However, Starwood has some nice properties in Europe, which is a great use of points. This is especially true if you go in the off-season.

How about a formula on the shiny new website that allows us to plug in age, accumulation rates, lifestyle factors and point totals - then tells us exactly when we would have to permanently move into a Starwood hotel where we would spend the rest of our lives in Club Floor bliss and leave nary a point behind?

I have 348K points. Mostly business related charges. Starwood Amex is one of my top cards to use. I like the ability to top off airlines and especially night and flights which s a excellent use of points if you find a decent cat 3 or 4 hotel.

I called SPG last week and they said it would be between 50k and 70k per night. But the agent wasn't 100% sure. Same for the Bora Bora Nui (which "only" costs EUR 370 or so and therefore should be the worst redemption rate ever).

Since mid-April 2006 I have 300+ paid nights in *wood properties. During this time I've made redeptions totalling 60K points.
Taking that into account you might think I'd be drowning in points, however my current balance is barely 100K points.
