I would like to confirm this theory if it is correct, if I transfer 20,000 Amex Memebership rewards points to my SPG account, then I transfer 20,000 SPG points to my Asia Miles account. Will I get 5,000 extra miles in my Asia Miles account?

[USER=860]@bgo[/USER] Yes, however 20,000 MR points will not yield 20k SPG points. As long as you keep that in mind.

I’ll know I’ve died and gone to heaven the day MR points transfer 1:1 to SPG.

Half of this works. Which half? The last half. SPG –> Asia Miles.
I wish MRs can be transferred to SPG. But NOOOOOOOOO!

MR [I]can[/I] be transferred to SPG. The transfer ratio, however, is an awful 3:1. They occasionally run a 2:1 promotion which is still not good.
