This is US accounts only right? Not UK?

That a sweet deal. Is it still possible to convert a U.K. MR account to a US MR account? I recall this was the case several years ago and the points would also be converted depending on GBPUSD exchange rate, right ? Or would this essentially require a change of address?

This seems like a good deal, but AA award space is totally non existent and BA transatlantic space is riddled with surcharges. Does anyone have some good ideas on how to use these miles?

No. What you may be recalling is this thread discussing opening an International Dollar Card, but that's not the same as a USA account. The arithmetic has changed, and the title is no longer accurate:

Best way to use them is for upgrades Word Traveller Plus to Business on BA, on transatlantic or any long haul route. Alternatively, as mia said, BA offers Reward Flight Savers from London to all European destinations zone 1-4 and some of these can be a complete steal, especially for last minute bookings! |
They work great for flights on AS, especially here in the US. They seem to have much more award availability than AA.

Conversion: 3 Membership RewardsŪ Points = 2 Avios |
Transferring AMEX points to BA is really the only way to get access to American Airlines award inventory.
I recentlly booked a couple AA biz awards from south South America back to the USA for 75k avios each. (57.5k AA miles). With this bonus it makes the premium to use avios awards miles basically zero. |

The upgrade would be good use for me, and I don't mind buying a WT+ seat if I know I will be in CW come flight day. |
Perhaps there is already a discussion on FT about the BA/IB upgrade awards. If anyone can suggest relevant link(s), I'd appreciate it.
