You can now transfer your SPG Starpoints to Aegean, a member of the Star Alliance, as announced via BusinessWire.

SPG Adds Aegean As Transfer Partner

SPG members can now convert their Starpoints into Aegean Miles+Bonus award miles. In addition, SPG members will be given an extra 5,000 miles for every 20,000 Starpoints converted to Aegean Miles+Bonus award miles.

With 11 properties in Greece under The Luxury Collection, Westin and Sheraton brands, Starwood Hotels & Resorts has the largest presence in the market for an international hotel group. AEGEAN is Starwood’s first partner airline in Greece. AEGEAN, a Star Alliance member, is the largest Greek airline, expected to expand to 149 destinations in 45 countries in 2016.

If you are looking to rack up some Starpoints, consider earning them with the Starwood Preferred Guest® Credit Card from American Express and the Starwood Preferred Guest® Business Credit Card from American Express.

Bottom Line

Of course there is the impending Marriott – SPG merger, but that won’t be for a while, so for now we are safe to keep racking up Starpoints. The best thing about SPG is that we can always transfer our points into airline miles with the 25% bonus if we don’t like how the merger shakes out.
