I just did a transfer to BA. Posted in 4 days and received the 35% the bonus right away.

Hotels – STARWOOD POINTS TO AVIOS 25,000
&Q3 Starwood Points to Avios 35% bonus 8,750
Yes, ditto the comments. Could anyone explain more – so what is the best deal, transferring SPG or Hilton points??
Are you saying 2 miles for 10 IHG points ?
The opposite
Same question as Kosta.
If I transfer 20k SPG, would I then get 25k from SPG going to BA, then 35% bonus stacked on top making 36,372 from 20k?
Yes.
Your math is wrong though. 35% on top of 25,000 is 33,750

do you think you would get bonus for a transfer that you initiate during the eligible period, but doesn’t post until afterwards? didn’t see anything in the terms that answers that concern. a lot of these hotel program process their points-to-miles transfer requests very slowly.
My transfer posted in 4 days, so transfer soon and don’t worry about it. Also, it shows by transfer date if you look at post below, so I think they would give you the 35% bonus if posts after, but don’t know for use.
