help! [converting Aeroplan or Amex MR to M&M]

Hi everybody ! i have 70000 aeroplan miles and i would like to convert them into miles and more but i am stuck as no program, as i have searched so far, let me do that. Not even points.com.
Any tips anyone ?
I also have many AMEX points and would like to convert them into Miles and More but again no luck.
Looking for help from the experts...

If you reach the posting threshold (~125 posts AFAIR), you can try finding someone on the Coupon Connection forum to book an M&M award for you using their miles and then you can repay the favor by booking something for them with your miles. I may be able to help you out with that as well.

Conversion is practically an impossibility. Even allowed, what you can get will be significantly reduced.

Like currencies, miles are not valued equally. In this case, your best option is to simply use them all, especially given the AP v. AC's new program.

As others have said, this is not possible. Did you consider creating an informative thread title?

Sorry, english is not my mother tongue and i am not getting the jokes.

If you find appropriate for me to change the topic name i will, is this what you were hinting?
so that people dont read it since i got my answers. i get it! will do.

As per the other answers, thank you, i see.

And thank you Lack for your offer and tips, i think i could repay with the fam and friends rates for hotel booking connections i have. And also with other miles/ etc.

Thank you all !

In the US you can convert Amex to SPG points i.e. 60k to 20k and then transfer them to an Airline (for every 20k you get a 5k bonus) so 60k MR to 25k M&M
Not sure if that option is a) available in your country or b) currently available due the Marriott/SPG merger

Amex can be transferred to SPG and then to M&M... And I also believe that Amex can be transferred directly to M&M in some countries.

So, in italy this is what is allowed :

i can transfer m&m :

3 Membership Rewards = 1 Starpoints®
1 Membership Rewards = 1 Punto Hilton Honors
1 Membership Rewards = 2 Gold Points®

not sure what is more worth it ?
it looks like i loose a lot if i transfer them into starpoints....
