UK AmEx to SPG to AA
With the current SPG/AA bonus I am tempted to transfer 120,000 AmEx to SPG (60,000) then onto AA where I will end up with 90,000 AA.
These miles would then hopefully be used to fly F on CX. EY. or QR to Asia 2 Using less miles and less out of pocket.
My thinking is that I should get better value from the AmEx points than if I transferred them to Avios my usual transfer route
Any thoughts on the above, also is there a better option?

With there being very few ways of getting AA miles in the UK other than the MBNA credit card, the extra 20% uplift during July certainly makes it a bit more appealing.
