Transfers to most airlines take up to 30 days, except U.S. based airlines which take up to 14 days instead.
Here is some other information that you might find useful.
Most airlines transfer on a 1:1 Starpoints/miles ratio, with a minimum transfer amount of 2,500 Starpoints. And when transferring 20,000 Starpoints or more in a single transaction, we also add 5,000 bonus air miles with our compliments.
Both names on your SPG account and your airline program must match exactly. In addition, once the transfer is confirmed, it is irreversible.
Thank you and have a nice day!

Great thread - thanks ^.
I read it all but didnt see this answer.
Q: What happens if you have Gold status but dont requalify for next year? Do you go back to General member or are you down to Preferred Plus?
I am working hard to make sure this doesnt happen to me
, but just wondering

I haven't been able to get a definitive answer, but from my searching it appears there is no way to view past Folio's online at SPG.com... Is that correct? What are the options for getting them? Calling the hotel directly and have it faxed?
Is there any chance they'll add this feature? As a HHonors Diamond turned SPG Plat, I must say, the ability to just log in and print off Folio's is a nice feature to have for expense reporting time!

Status Match
Question:
I just received a status match to SPG Platinum. How long does this Platinum Status match last? Do I have to requalify by the end of this year or do I have until 2009 to do it? Thanks in advance!

Preferred Plus is an associated, not published, level. If you have an association of some kind that gives you Preferred Plus, then you would drop down to that level. If not, then Preferred.

Hi Danpod,
Just like any recently renewed Platinum member, you would need to credit 25 stays or 50 nights per calendar year in order to maintain your Platinum status. If not, your status will be dropped to Gold most likely end of February the following year.
Let me review your account before I advise further, will send you a PM now.
Thank you and have a nice day!

When your membership card arrives, you'll see the expiration date.

I just joined SPG back in February (therefore a lowly Preferred Guest), but I have lost my card, and when I tried to print the temp one when I ordered a new one today, it was so danged small, I could barely read it! Is there any way I could get a bigger version of my temp card emailed to me, as I am staying at the Sheraton Seattle in just over two weeks...
I don't know if I need it, but I definitely want it just in case I need it.
