Earlier this week I posted a step by step guide to redeeming points from the American Express Cobalt Card (or any Membership Rewards card for that matter) to Starwood Preferred Guest. This is all in anticipation that the conversion ratio will be changing when SPG and Marriott Rewards become one program in August. In that post and my previous post that began this process “7 months in and The American Express Cobalt Card is still going strong – we’ve earned a LOT of points and huge value organically” I mentioned that after I converted my Membership Rewards Select Tier points to SPG I would then transfer them to my wife as she is the main SPG earner and elite status holder in our family. SPG and many other hotel programs have great liberal options of moving points to other members so long as they have same household address as you. Note that your accounts must have the same addresses for at least 30 days so if you are thinking that you can just change the address on my account and transfer to anyone tomorrow that won’t work but you could do it 30 days from now – beware that SPG does reserve the right to request proof of residency so it is probably you reserve this transfer option to people who do actually live in your household…
