We are an independent publisher. Our reporters create honest, accurate, and objective content to help you make decisions. To support our work, we are paid for providing advertising services. Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Next” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. The compensation we receive and other factors, such as your location, may impact what ads and links appear on our site, and how, where, and in what order ads and links appear. While we strive to provide a wide range of offers, our site does not include information about every product or service that may be available to you. We strive to keep our information accurate and up-to-date, but some information may not be current. So, your actual offer terms from an advertiser may be different than the offer terms on this site. And the advertised offers may be subject to additional terms and conditions of the advertiser. All information is presented without any warranty or guarantee to you.

This page may include: credit card ads that we may be paid for (“advertiser listing”); and general information about credit card products (“editorial content”). Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Apply Now” button or “Learn More” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. When you click on that hyperlink or button, you may be directed to the credit card issuer’s website where you can review the terms and conditions for your selected offer. Each advertiser is responsible for the accuracy and availability of its ad offer details, but we attempt to verify those offer details. We have partnerships with advertisers such as Brex, Capital One, Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo and Discover. We also include editorial content to educate consumers about financial products and services. Some of that content may also contain ads, including links to advertisers’ sites, and we may be paid on those ads or links.

If you’ve been meaning to take advantage of the latest promotion between Starwood and American Airlines, now is the time!

Through September 14, 2016, you’ll receive a 20% bonus when you transfer Starwood points to American Airlines.

When you transfer Starwood points in increments of 20,000, Starwood will give you an extra 5,000 miles.  And with this promotion, you’ll get 20% more miles when transferring to American Airlines.

That means when you transfer 20,000 Starwood points to American Airlines, Starwood will deposit 30,000 miles into your account (20,000 Starwood points + 5,000 point bonus = 25,000 miles.  25,000 miles + 20% promotion bonus = 30,000 miles).  That’s enough for a one-way coach award flight from the US to Europe!

You can transfer up to 79,999 Starwood points to American Airlines miles every 24 hours.

Should You Take Advantage of This Promotion?

This promotion is a good deal for anyone who travels on American Airlines or their airline partners.

American Airlines miles are valuable.  You can use American Airlines miles to fly just about anywhere, thanks to partner airlines like Air Berlin, Cathay Pacific, and Qantas.

Read my posts about how to use American Airlines miles to fly to Europe.  And how to use fewer American Airlines miles during off-peak dates.

Note:   It can take ~7 to 10 days for the Starwood points to transfer into your American Airlines account.  And American Airlines adds the 20% promotion bonus within a week after the transfer posts.  So do NOT make the transfer if you need miles immediately!
