Even more flight flexibility for our favorite reward credit card

The Starwood Preferred Guest Credit Card now lets you redeem points for 'any airline / anytime' flights. This is in addition to the ability to transfer your points to over 30 airline miles programs.

While the value for your points for this new option may not always be quite as generous as when you transfer to miles, it is still more generous than most 'any airline / anytime' rewards, at better than 1% return across the board.

As a reminder Starwood is the point program for Sheraton, Westin, W, and Le Meridien hotels. We like it because you can use points for much more than hotel rewards, and you don't dilute your value in the process. Learn more about this, our favorite rewards credit card, here.

Here's a list of point requirements and flight values. It's like using your points as cash to buy plane tickets.
