Cool... Thank you. I also just got this e-mail:

Dear Mr. jjglaze77,

Following your request, we would like to inform you that according to the point
23. of the terms and conditions of the Mas program, the promotional welcome
points that the new members receive when they join the progam can not be
transferred. For this reason it is no possible to make the transfer.

We remain at your disposal for any further information you may require.

Best regards,

Too bad!

Now to refine the question: Do you have to be a member of MAS to get miles (via transfer) or can you simply give your Skymiles # upon check-in?

(I discovered the answert to my earlier question about Accor... must give SM # at check-in)
