I've also heard there will be a bonus for transfers made on Tuesdays, but I don't yet know the bonus formula (I think it depends on your birthday).

Go to the approviate (pre-merger) forums and figure out what the convertion rate of NW miles was to DL miles and what the conversion rate of CO miles was to UA miles. Also investigate the conversion rate between Southwest and AirTran (in both directions), in their current forums. @:-)

(By investigate, I mean search and read, not ask all over the place.)
