I haven't used any of my MR points so far.

I want to use them most for travel. I can only get Economy tickets on points, and the milage programs for transfers do not match the ones I have (would be a waste of miles)

1) Can I transfer MR points through the Swiss amex webpage to LX Travel Club ( I have a M&M account and I bet LXTC will be merged with M&M)
2) Can I use MR on other Amex webpages for flight awards
3) As a last resort, which hotel program is best for MR transfers to either:

Hilton Honors Gold VIP (complementary no points)
Hyatt Platinum Gold Passport (complementary no points)
Starwood Preferred Gold (more or less complementary some points)
others I have are Le Meridien and Priority Club

If I understand correctly, you are enrolled in the USA Membership Rewards program, but want to transfer points to an airline which is a participant in the Swiss version of Membership Rewards? I don't believe this is permitted. If you were moving to Switzerland (or could otherwise persuade American Express that you had a vaild reson to move your account to Switzerland) they might transfer your entire balance to the Swiss program, but otherwise they are separate.
