Are there any downsides to going for points and then doing the points to miles transfer? Seems to be even sweeter since you can get a double points/miles offer right now.
The double points/miles offer says it only allows 4 offers in the promotional period (darn!) and I haven't been able to get the Amex $100 card one to work with my negotiated rate - even when I just select AAA it makes the promo go away. Oh well.
