Note, though, that even as an AA kettle I can (and did) transfer a few miles directly to US because I have more than 25K miles in my AA account. (Of course, points.com could change that, just as they yanked the CO low-miles transfer option mid-GS this year.) However, the larger point is a sound one: plan around points.com's arbitrary rules by banking a few miles in places that allow small-amount transfers to US.
