i'm just hoping the points from the spg amex show up in 5 weeks instead of the 8-12 they quote...
also, the first couple times i tried to register for this promo i got the error 'your session has timed out' but when i switched from google chrome browser to internet explorer it worked. so use IE if having probs, don't use Chrome for this.

So do we think this is just an accidental omission or for real? Seems odd that they included just about every other partner under the sun, but restricted MR.
Even with the bonuses being incredibly generous, I can't bring myself to transfer any SPG over to Delta. I'd probably transfer almost all of my MR if possible.

Is this verified? There must be some way to prevent transferring miles back and forth between accounts if this is the case. Limit one transaction per account? Something like that?

I think 30K DC points gets you 85,500 Skymiles:
30K Original transfer
10.5K 35% bonus
45K 150% bonus on base
85.5K Total
I know from a transfer earlier in the year that the DC extra bonus (in this case the 35%) posts in the bonus column not the regular miles column so I don't think you would get the 150% on the extra 35%. Just my 2 cents, but that seems to be how others are looking at it as well.

I have not flown delta but I have lots of spg points.
How easy is it to redeem for NWA or CO business class to Asia using Sky Miles? and How many miles? from what I can gather it is 120K for NWA but on delta is has low medium high, whatever that means

With most airlines, 10K HHonors points will net you 1500 miles (and with some airlines, even less).
