Using their expert knowledge and specialised tools, the Frequent Flyer Concierge team at Frequent Flyer Concierge will help you book a great trip that maximises the value for your points.
Agree we have historically done well on transfer rates if you adjust them for currency. KF remains excellent value. Asia Miles was outstanding until the availability tightened. SPG offered so many options which makes it such a lossThe UK is in pounds so their earning rate is a lot worse than ours and their credit card sign on bonuses are no where near as generous.
We had it bloody good before and now we are in the usual position of being disadvantaged for being Australian.
We still do very well on Krisflyer and Asia miles transfers so there is that.
By the time the notification came in the statement, there was already a halt on transfers in process as SPG was switching over to Marriott so there was no chance to make a transfer.
I had already transferred a lot of my points over preemptively but would have done more if I could before the cutoff.

(I stand by my maths )
. The game will be a lot less exciting after that with only Krisflyer and Asia miles redemptions to ponder over.
Beside SQ and CX , my last 2 redemption via Etihad Miles with VA and PG is pretty good value in my book .
It would appear that they are making Marriott wear the cost of the change as they have been working with Marriott to credit the points manually. So far they have been doing it in blocks and
