They are probably indeed closed for the weekend.

I sent in my info on Friday at 6:25pm EST and still have not heard anything as of Saturday night at 9:30pm.

Don't forget the Cathay deval there also.

But I've overloaded on SPG miles that I'll want to whittle away before the merger does whatever it will do to them, so I see them going to airlines anyway. This accelerates that a little, but gives me a nice bump in the process.

Frankly, Hyatt's status match really worked for me, and I'm shooting for Hyatt Platinum this year since I like it so much, so that means I'm burning far fewer SPG points.

Trying to get in on this, transferring points between SPG accounts. Nail-bitingly slow...

They are probably getting a bit backed up on emails as well as this deal spreads across the interwebz. Response times are probably going to be a bit slower.

What cathay deval? And why would you go for hyatt plat? There's no tangible benefits.

You alluded to the upcoming SPG-Marriott merger. IMO, there's a better chance of a Starpoint deval with that merger than an AS point deval with their Virgin merger. For me, anying less than 3 MR points per Starpoint is a deval, and I think 3:1 is a real stretch.

Having said that, I'm not hesitant to make a transfer like this for a deal like this. I can see us transferring a good portion of our Starpoints to airlines before the merger anyway. I manage a group of accounts with collectively over 1M Starpoints, so to make a single 40K transfer here isn't going to make much of a dent in our stash.

I got my an email confirming I'm enrolled in the points match. I sent in my request around 6PM EDT Friday and heard back at 12:18AM EDT Sunday. Looks like there definitely is someone there doing matches over the weekend or maybe they've outsourced it?

Thx for the data point. Still waiting here...

My mistake - Diamond. Right, Platinum is useless. I'm just so accustomed to the SPG world that Platinum is the level I always aim for - but it's Diamond with Hyatt.

On the Cathay issue - I didn't realize that the deval from Alaska was a mistake. So ignore that. They had changed the award chart, but I guess that turned out to be an IT problem, not a deval. Too bad for me and Alaska - it caused me to not credit miles there recently, even though it wasn't correct.

Did a google search and found one person denied for Jetblue promo match because there was no record of a flight taken from Virgin America.

Is this a requirement for eligibility?

There's nothing in the offer terms indicating that this is a requirement. Jetblue would take a ton of flack for using a generous offer to generate free advertising only to go and change the terms later.

Do you have a link for your data point?

It was a comment on VFTW, most likely from a toll as several people report being approved with no segments on VX.

Guessing it was a troll here too. Thanks for adding a source.

Same here
