45,000 Starwood Bonus Offer Ends 11/1


The Starwood American Express Business card is one of my favorites. Starwood points are the most valuable out there because you can transfer them to 30 different airlines and Marriott hotels plus you can use them for Starwood hotels. If that's not enough, when you transfer 20,000 points to most of the airlines, you are awarded a 5,000 bonus. United Airlines is the exception. The transfer for that airline is 3:1 so I do not recommend using the points on United. That being said there are workarounds if you like to fly United.
The latest offer ending 11/1 is for 45,000 Starwood points. My previous blog post I wrote about ways to use those 45,000 points in New York City. But you can use those points anywhere in the world.
The other perk of the business card is free access to the Sheraton Club anywhere in the world. The club offers complimentary breakfast and happy hour. The happy hour is so generous that we have eaten dinner there.
Figure if your hotel is paid with points and you get FREE breakfast and dinner, that's what I call a good deal.
The spend is a bit high 25,000 Starwood points for $6,000 minimum spend and another 10,000 points for an additional $4,000 spend. If you completed the $10,000 spend, you would earn 45,000 Starwood points. The $95 annual fee is not waived.
But if you have your property taxes coming up or tuition payments or any other big purchases on the horizon, this might be a good deal for you.
By the way, any business will qualify. If you sell items on Ebay or rent your house on Airbnb or anything else, you will most likely qualify.
