Orphan Miles to DC CR Points to BA Double Miles

Okydoke. I'm trying to get enough BA miles for a First Class award from the US to Europe, and the BA Double Miles promo could help (even though it may not get me there entirely).

I have some orphaned miles:
10,500 on CO
3,000 on UA
3,000 on AA

I have just over 11,000 Hilton HHonors points, and I never stay at Hilton.

Most of my airline miles are in US and NW. I have about 300,000 in US and about 50,000 in NW miles.

I also have about 48,000 Starwood Preferred Guest points.

I'm trying to save my NW, US, and Starwood miles/points, but I was wondering if any of you could offer suggestions about how I might be able to use some of my orphan miles to get them to BA miles through this promo. Any ideas?

Also, are there any quick/cheap Club Rewards bonuses out there that could help me rack up some extra points before the end of the summer?

Cheers.
