The Offer
American Airlines is offering a 20% transfer bonus when you transfer SPG points to American Airline miles. This is in addition to the bonus 5,000 miles you receive when you transfer 20,000 points or more.
- 20,000 Starpoints = 20,000 AAdvantage miles
- 5,000 Standard SPG bonus = 5,000 AAdvantage miles
- AAdvantage 20% mileage bonus = 5,000 AAdvantage miles
- Total = 30,000 AAdvantage miles
The Fine Print
- Valid until September 14th, 2016
Our Verdict
You’ll need to transfer in blocks of 20,000 to get the best value out of this promotion, also keep in mind you’re limited to 79,999 in transfers per 24 hour period. I find SPG points way more valuable than American Airlines, but I know a lot of people think differently. They offered the same promotion last year and ended up extending it the end of August, since this one goes until mid September I doubt it will be extended.
Thanks to micahgoulart for letting us know about this
Anyone know if they have ever offered this type of bonus to Delta Sky Miles.
before you transfer your valuable SPG points… http://www.dansdeals.com/archives/89527
This list is absolutely true. Especially trying to find international awards. It is miserable.
“also keep in mind your limited to 79,999” — should be “you’re limited”
Fixed
Yes!!! Been waiting for this. Need ~30k AA miles but only have about 20k+ Starwood.
It will be 30k in the end. The best 30k. Maybe it is the last opportunity this year and next year who knows? Great for FlyingAlways, transferred already.
20% of 20k is 4k not 5k! Great deal tho.
You get a bonus 5,000 miles when you transfer in increments of 5k. 20% of 25k is 5k :).
Right right, it was confusing they way you had it but meant to say the total is still accurate!
