How do I earn airline miles for a stay?

Starwood Preferred Guest® Members can earn miles with their frequent flyer program by visiting spg.com/moremiles or by calling 888-627-7143 (in the U.S. and Canada) or 353-21-4539579 (International toll line) and enrolling in the Airline Direct Deposit Program. After switching from points to miles, you will automatically earn miles during your stay at the same rate you would have earned Starpoints®.

When Starpoints are transferred to a frequent flyer account, both accounts must be in the same name otherwise the airline will reject the transfer. This is for the member's protection so that no unauthorized transfers may occur. Once Starpoints transfer to an airline, they may not be returned to the Starwood Preferred Guest account.
