Actually, you have another option, via Starwood.
1000 Membership Rewards Points = 333 Starpoints = 333 UA miles
Obviously this is not as generous as the offer above (.33 UA miles/Membership Rewards Point vs. .40 UA miles/Membership Rewards Point), but may be a lot faster since you have less transfers.
