Step by Step guide to converting points from your American Express Cobalt Card to Starwood Preferred Guest
– RewardsCanada.ca
You may recall from our popular post “7 months in and The American Express Cobalt Card is still going strong – we’ve earned a LOT of points and huge value organically” that I mentioned I would be converting the Membership Rewards Select Tier points over to Starwood Preferred Guest. I went ahead and conducted that transfer last week and wanted to share how the process went. If you are considering this transfer please note that SPG will be combining with Marriott Rewards come August and we don’t know what the future transfer rate will be. We are speculating it will be lower so you have a little over a month to complete this transfer and ensure that you keep the potential value of your points intact. I don’t think the rate will get better in August so at the very least if they keep the same transfer ratio you will have not lost anything. As a reminder all Starpoints will convert 1:3 to the new program when it is combined.Related: Marriott Rewards and Starwood Preferred Guest come together with the announcement of one set of benefits Related: Further details to the combination of the Marriott Rewards, Starwood Preferred Guest and Ritz-Carlton Rewards ProgramsNow onto to the step by step guide!The first thing that is required to complete this transfer is to add your Starwood Preferred Guest number to you American Express Membership Rewards account…
