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 your limited to 79,999 in transfers per 24 hour period. Personally I don’t think this is a good use of SPG points, I find them difficult to earn (I don’t MS on my SPG cards and I can only churn the business card now), where as I find American Airline miles very easy to earn.
