I have been looking at switching to Amex and switching points through starwood to AA.However on reading the detailed SPG T&C's it says that points transferred from credit cards can not then be transferred to other program participants but used only for hotel awards.Is this policed-certainly would be easy for them to notice my activity.JohnK said:Apparently you can transfer Starwood points between accounts as long as the account holders live at the same address. So if you have Amex MR points then transfer these points to your Starwood account at a ratio of 1,000 Amex MR points = 330 Starwood points and then transfer the Starwood points to the other persons Starwood account. From there you can then transfer to AA, SQ etc. Remember that 20,000 Starwood points = 25,000 AA points.
More in this thread, specifically posts #4 and #6. I have yet to test the transfer but may need to do so sometime in the next 2 years.

I hope not! I will not be earning points from Starwood properties in the near future so Amex MR points will be the only alternative for me.drron said:Is this policed-certainly would be easy for them to notice my activity.
