On September 29th...I'll make the call on moving MR to CO, even if its only half a million miles, it should still be good for 4-5 international F awards. We should have a better idea on which way the wind is blowing by then in terms of the merged CO/UA FF program and whether its even worth moving points into it.
Delta just came off a 50% plus MQM a week ago. There have been other bonuses in the past. I'd wait until closer to 6/31 to see what else pops up. Personally I'd love a 50% Aeroplan bonus. And i'd be surprised if US doesn't take CO's AmEx place and they always have the biggest offers.
If you know your travel will be domestic US, South America and/or Asia, BA is great !
And BA does charge fuel surcharges on AA metal to Europe.
