Great deal when converting a Travel Package. I am going to convert one for 120k miles and get 60k Bonus. Not a bad deal!"

As I said, I time converting my MR Travel Packages when the airline announces the 50% transfer bonus.

I track and post about the US bonus every year. Its a great deal. My feeling is that its over. US is moving to Aadvantage March 31st and over to Oneworld. The merger is going to change a lot. Just speculation on my part. But the current AA bonus that excludes travel packages makes me think this is more true than ever.
