Hello -

Welcome to FT.

May I suggest that you may wish to ask this question in the AmEx forum? It's under FT Miles, just like MilesBuzz!, just scroll down about 3/4ths of the way down the page.

However, I'll give you my thoughts anyway. The AmEx -> Starwood conversion rate is terrible, so I wouldn't go that route unless you really need the points.

You said you fly Delta, so why not just transfer your MR points directly to Delta on a 1:1 basis?
