help Transfer points from SPG to United.. screwed
« on: September 13, 2012, 05:47:04 PM »
I was making tickets to Israel. I have points with UNited starwood and chase ultimate. I had a lot of United miles so I was focusing on tickets through them. When I went to transfer my spg points i was told it was a 2:1 ratio. Now I need to purchase about 30K miles which is very expensive.
HELP does anyone have a solution
Thanks

Thanks but I wish there was a way to transfer my spg somewhere else and then send them to United. I would be willing to trade all my SPG for united or chase ultimate rewards if I could.
 I am already using all my UR points for the tickets

or swap 30k spg for 30k UR i'm sure u will find some takers (mclovin's idea is better b/c spg has a higher value so u gain by willing and dealing, what i'm suggesting u lose a bit however a lot less hassle involved)
