An update on the VX --> AS conversion. As I noted in an earlier post, the transfer my not work if your email address is associated with a disabled points.com account. Changing your email on your VX and AS accounts to do the conversion can solve this problem.

As a further update, I went ahead and emailed points.com to get my account un-disabled. It took about a week to hear back, but they did reply and sent me a link to reset the password on my old disabled points.com account. I reset the password and re-activated the account.

I then went back and changed the email addresses on my VX and AS account back to my normal email address.

All should be set and working now, using my regular email.

The trick of changing your email (temporarily) can be a way to get the conversion to go through immediately while you wait for your disabled points.com to be re-activated, and then you can change the email addresses back and use the re-activated account.
