Just received an email containing this link:http://shopping.usairways.com/promotion/dividendmiles/registration.aspx?PromoCode=HP11Summary:Register now, and any miles earned between your registration date and May 31, 2011 by converting hotel points to US Dividend Miles will see a 25% bonus. If you have a US Airways branded credit card, you'll get another 25% bonus. If you have status (Preferred member) with US, you'll get another 25% bonus. Total possible bonus: 75%If you convert Starwood (SPG) points in 20,000 point blocks, you get a 5,000 point bonus from them. If combined with the 75% US bonus, this would mean that every 20,000 SPG points could yield 20,000 * 1.25 * 1.75 = 43,750 US miles. US miles are redeemable on Star Alliance carriers... very nice first class international redemption options in particular. Quite a good deal!Even better, I like the idea of using an SPG "Nights & Flights" redemption. For those who can take advantage of the full 75% US bonus, 60,000 SPG points would yield five nights at a Category 3 hotel plus 87,500 US miles, or 70,000 SPG points would yield five nights at a Category 4 property plus 87,500 miles!In a similar vein, using a Marriott Travel Package Reward would allow 270,000 Marriott Rewards Points to net you seven nights at a Category 1-5 hotel plus 210,000 US miles.
Buy a preferred trial for $200 if you are transferring points in quantity.If you want to transfer 60K SPG=112.5K US.26,250 of those will be from buying the preferred trial.
i think 25% is only 18,750?
Registered Dividend Miles members will earn only one of the bonuses when they transfer hotel points into Dividend Miles during the promotion.
