You can transfer Starwood points into American miles at a 1:1 ratio. These count towards lifetime elite status. American is definitely aware of this.

Points can be transferred out from SPG to the airlines, but not from air to SPG. Sorry... On the AA end, the only thing that might help a little is using your miles on the land portion of an AAVacation, but the rate is not great, around 8 cents/mile.</font>

Point is, there is no way-- via SPG or any other conduit-- of getting your valuable OnePass miles into AAdvantage at anything even resembling a 1:1 ratio. I personally did transfer hundreds of thousands of SPG points to AA (at a ratio of better than 1-> 1, 1-> 1.25-- as that's what SPG transfers yield) and in the process earned AA lifetime gold and will have AA lifetime Platinum by this year. FWIW, at 2 million lifetime miles (from any source) AA currently also gives you 4 system-wide upgrade certificates-- which is a nice little bonus.
Who knows how long AA will continue their lifetime elite program-- all the more reason to do it soon if one is so inclined. Plus, it's a new elite-earning year-- what a great time to re-evaluate one's carrier of choice.

Back when CO did offer lifetime Elite nobody cared. (Who's lifetime was it anyway?)
Now everybody is tryin' to scam a way to convert OnePass miles to AA for lifetime Elite status.
So much for loyalty programs.
