TWA FFB/Aviators - TWA/American Express

I read somewhere that this is a good time to transfer American Express Memebership Reward points to TWA, so that they will automatically become AA points later. Am I getting this right? Are people doing this because AA isn't an AmEx partner?

Is there any downside to this, or pieces of the picture I'm missing?

Hob,

There are tons of posts on this subject, here in the TWA forum, in the AA forum and Randy's forum. Just do a search.

And the bottom line is that now would be a good time to dump your points if you want AA miles in the long term. We just don't know yet (though the answer will probably be yes) whether these will count towards the million mileage programs.
