A Discount On Purchasing Starpoints, But Still Probably Too Much

ByEdward Pizzarello

Starwood Preferred Guest is currently offering a 20% discount on purchasing Starpoints. Starpoints normally sell for 3.5 cents a piece.  This sale takes them down to 2.8 cents per, and is valid through December 14th.

While I consider Starpoints one of the most valuable currencies in the mile and point world, this is probably a bit too high of a price to pay unless you have a very specific need for points in the near future.  I’ve definitely gotten better than 3 cents worth of value out of Starpoint redemptions in the past, but generally value them at around 2 cents a piece, maybe a touch more in some unique situations.

The limit for this sale is 20,000 points, so any way you look at it, you can only gain or lose so much.  🙂

My goal in life is to fill my family’s passports with stamps, creating buckets of memories along the way. You’ll find me writing about realistic ways for normal people to travel the world, whether you’re on a budget or enjoy luxury. I also enjoy taking us on the occasional detour to explore the inner workings of the travel industry.
