Transferring to an airline and redeeming for international business/first class travel. If you want to transfer to Continental or Delta, do it before the end of the month (if possible).

Yes, but it might cost you $40/year to link the MR accounts

To maximize points you should apply for a new card. I believe the best GUARANTEED deal right now is the 50k MR points for a Business Premier Rewards Gold Card.
