Got  the Everyday no fee card & the 25k bonus . I thought the transfer to SPG was best option  and it  was 1 to 1.
I have BA points 300K and only use it for  very rare domestic trips.
I have 104k Alaska miles. I have enough UA, AA US airways miles and have hilton points too so not a good transfer option for me.

Will they allow downgrade to SPG card?

is this a new thing? I was hoping to get points to transfer to BA. The rep told me that they cant do it till 1st week of Feb which in my guess is after the 60 day mark as they don't want a cancellation of the card and me running off with the points. Did we all kill it for ourselves?
