Edit: heading should read "... worthwhile?"

Just got a postcard from Amex announcing that I have been targeted for a special offer of 50% more points to convert my MR Points to GoldCrown Club (1000MR = 1,500 GC Points), Hilton HHonors (1000 MR = 1,950HHP), Priority Club (1000MR = 1500PCRP), Starwood (1000MR = 500 SPGP).

Is any of this worth it, in general? As far as I can see converting to Delta Miles at one to one is a better use of the MR Points.

There was some discussion of this offer and converting MR Points to Starwood and then to AA at
http://flyertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=737829&highlight=bonus

But, I have quite a lot of AA miles right now (and don't want to take a big devaluation just to get into AA). Are the hotel points offered by Amex worth converting for at the ratio offered?

I don't use hotel points much, but, there doesn't appear to be much value in this special offer.
