There are round about ways depending on how many UR you have. UR can be transferred to Marriott at 1:1. From there you can transfer to SPG but that is a 3:1 so lose 2/3 of the value and then transfer SPG to AS.
Other option after transferring to Marriott is to redeem the
Marriott Flight and Hotel award. starting at 200,000 Marriott points converts to a 7 night at cat 1-5 hotel and 50,000 points deposited in AS account up to 270K points to get 7 nght at cat 1-5 + 120K AS points.
Though depending on where you are going, using BA points could be the best deal.
