So if I transfer 50,000 MR points, I will get 75,000 miles. Correct? Although I am also registered for the 40% rebate, since it would be double-dipping, I should *NOT* expect to get back 20,000 MR points.
While I would like to get both offers, I don't want to mess up the SkyMiles offer, since I need those miles. It looks like we all agree that I'm OK to transfer the MR points and get the bonus miles without any worry or confusion, even though I'm registered for both promotions. Only the rebated MR points, from the second promo, would be in question. The original promo is never at risk.
Correct? I'll hold off a few days more to hear other people's experiences before I do the transfer.
You are correct, although if you are not looking for the MQM's(First time transfer, 100k+, I also believe the 50% bonus will only be received if it is your first ever transfer) the 40% back nets you more SkyMiles per MR point than the 50%.
Me personally, I wouldn't waste my first time transfer without getting the MQM's, since you won't be eligible for them again. This one requires 100k to get em, the last two only required 50k transferred.
