Thank you Mia for the info. This is way easier than adding AU to AmEx account.

Have ~125K MR. Planning on cancelling the Plat this month. I also have no use for award travel for the next 20 months.
Would you transfer to Avios and let it sit there (maybe spend on a small trip to keep from expiring) or let it sit with a free Amex MR card?
Don't know which one will devalue faster!

Quick question - I will soon start working in India (Airport: HYD) for the next 3-4 years and would like to know if BA Avios can be used in the same distance based calculation (assuming a partner flies there) or use for Asia. I am trying to see if I can benefit from any short-haul redemption's.
Appreciate any responses from Asia/ India based FT'ers.

Hmmmm....Northeast based flyer here...wondering if maybe I should move 300K MRs to BA with this Bonus. I have plenty of DL Pesos, so I would not be transferring MRs there. Not sure where I would move them if it wasn't to BA. BA has good value through American and Cathay. Decisions. Decisions.

Key is your routes must be served by BA partners.

How do you guys manage to score any economy flights? Most dates and trips that I've checked simply say unavailable.
I want to transfer points from two accounts but am afraid I won't have the opportunity to use them.
And from what I understand most other miles programs rarely offer any bonuses for transfers.
By the way I'm mostly looking for domestic US flights, or maybe KLM or Lufthansa.

For KLM flights, you'll need to transfer MRs to Delta or Flying Blue. Not sure of a way, off the top of my head to book Lufthansa with MRs.
