There was AF transfer promotion last month. Is there any new transfer promotion this month? Or any rumor of new promotion very soon?

March promotion for USA Membership Rewards is to Starwood Preferred Guest rather than an airline. Discussion here:

Unfortunately the promotions are not for everyone, so tylorcl or I can not enjoy this promotion.
Last time there was a MR transfer promotion in Finland it was April 2011...

Historical point transfer limits?
I am fairly new to Amex. This fall, I took advantage of the DL transfer bonus but I only had 100K points in balance.
Particular on bonus offers, historically has traditionally always been a limit, 100K or less for example, on the airline transfer bonus? And/or is it per account or sometimes just per transfer?
Thank you

There is no pattern to Membership Rewards transfer promotions. Typically, there are (for example) several offers from Delta and only one from Starwood, but often there will be no offer for a few months. Some offers are organized by the partner and are never promoted by American Express (for example, Air Canada Aeroplan and some Delta offers.)

I think the best was the 100% bonus; but this was a little bittersweet as it was followed by the huge devaluation a couple of years ago.

I am holding my breath for a new DL bonus. Need between 35k and 55k to top off my account to book a rapidly approaching trip, and can't bring myself to bite at the current 1 to 1 rate. Anyone know if one might be on its way?
