is 1.6 still an accurate value for buying 100K+ spg points? family member is interested.

also, i'm assuming the SPG points can be transferred from seller to buyer's account if the buyer currently doesnt have an SPG account and can open a new one with the seller's address?
1.6 for spg is cheap ,current rate is about 1.8

You are correct, I don't think any broker would offer a street guy 1.8 for just 40k Spg.

Leave the guy alone! 1.675 is solid for 40k.

Think the valuation is based on the size of the account. There is a promo for AC that they give bonus points based on the size of the transfer. The sweet spot on the transfer is 160K- 180K depending on the broker's needs. This promo is through mid-April so don't expect the prices to be as high after the promo period. I believe this is the reason for the rise in SPG values lately...

US is more valuable.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.
