Are there any suggestions on a way to do a two-way transfer from my MR account to another account - like Marriott/SPG - and then over to my AA account? Every article I find seems to focus on efficiency and point optimization vs. just brute forcing points across at all costs. Any thoughts or suggestions would be great.
Did you find multiple MileSAAver Business Class award seats, or will you be springing for AAnytime awards? If MileSAAver, you could transfer MR points to an airline that is an AA partner, such as Etihad. Watch out for carrier surcharges, however.
