I recently found out a way to convert American express MR points in to US miles at 1 : 0.85 ratio. Here are the steps -

1) Transfer MR points in to your Aeroplan account.
2) Open points.com account
3) Add Aeroplan account and US Dividend miles account in your points.com account
4) Using ponits.com exchange feature exchange aeroplan miles in to US dividend miles at 1 : 0.85 ratio. You can only transfer 50,000 aeroplan miles at a time. You have to wait until US miles are posted to your account, to do next transfer of 50,000 aeroplan miles.

Also the option might be more lucrative when Amex runs transfer promotions for Aeroplan.

Hope this will help someone needing US miles.
