Yes, you can xfer to DL and redeem on CO. You will pay a partner fee to do so. DL and CO both have 18 month expiration policies, but CO actively does not enforce theirs while DL does. Also keep in mind that in late '09 CO will be moving to *A from SkyTeam and at that point redemption partners will change.

I wouldn't change to DL, if you can prevent it. Their redemption levels are terrible, and the availability is even worse.

If you fly with CO (and you can wait until they join Star Alliance), then convert your MR points to AC points and then book CO flights with Aeroplan. Lower redemption rates, too.
