US Airways Dividend Miles Gets the SPG Bonus

US Airways A330

I just received an email from US Airways that Dividend Miles members will  also receive the bonus from Starwood for transferring points. SPG Bonus US

Earn more miles toward your next trip! We’ve teamed up with Starwood Preferred Guest® to bring you this exclusive offer.
From July 1 – 31, 2014, convert your Starpoints® into Dividend Miles and earn a 20% bonus.

 Here’s how it works:

  • Convert 20,000 Starpoints into Dividend Miles (in one transaction).
  • As always, SPG® will automatically add 5,000 miles.
  • You’ll earn 20% bonus miles.
 Your total = 30,000 Dividend Miles (for every 20,000 Starpoints you convert)
Again, this may only work for you if a) you have a bundle of SPG points sitting around and b) if you have a specific award in mind.
Note that US Airways does not allow one way awards, however, there are still some partnerships with Star Alliance partners Singapore Airlines and Turkish Airlines. Award bookings for those two carriers will be allowed through the end of this month (July 31st, 2014).
With Starwood, you  can transfer up to 79,999 Starpoints in a 24 hour period to an airline. In order to maximize the bonus, the best strategy would be to limit your transfer to 60K points a day in order to receive 90K US Airways miles.

There is no minimum Starpoint transfer requirement for Platinum Preferred Guest members. Gold Preferred Guest members have a minimum transfer requirement of 1,500 Starpoints, and Preferred Guest members have a minimum transfer requirement of 2,500 Starpoints.

Only one airline transfer transaction per member per 24 hour period is allowed; multiple transfer transactions within the same 24 hour period will reject. Both the Starwood Preferred Guest and Dividend Miles account must have identical member names in order to complete this request; different names will cause the transfer to reject.
