USDM will become AA miles later this year, when the Dividend Miles program is discontinued. No one knows exactly when that will occur, and the miles cannot otherwise be transferred.
AA is not an Amex MR transfer partner. In order to convert MR points to AA miles, you would have to go through another program (like Starwood Preferred Guest), and you would sustain substantial devaluation if you did so.
If you plan to travel after the USDM conversion to AAdvantage miles, you could think about going one way with AA miles, and the other way on United, by accumulating UA miles through the Chase/UA card, and the Chase Sapphire Preferred card. You could transfer your MR points to Aeroplan, and redeem your Aeroplan miles on UA with no surcharge.
