There's probably not enough time left, but playing around with the mileage converter tool on www.webflyer.com, it seems like one could potentially convert miles from, say CO via Choice Hotels, which would result in 50k CO miles becoming 40k AA miles. Not a horrible conversion rate...usually 50 becomes 30, but with a 35 percent kick it's 40.

The max is 25k/yr with the chase card, 50k with the Select Plus status. I need to take a few rides first.

I expect that most of those in your kind of situation currently -- myself included -- will see the bonus 35% post before the coming Sunday is over.

As stated above, converted my soon to be expired SPG points more than 10 days ago ... I just spoke to AA rep and she said the bonus points should post 6-8 weeks after the promotion has ended!!! So I would worry if they did not post by August 15-30.

Interestingly enough, right now, the aadvantage main page still has a link on the side that states "Earn bonus miles for hotel points conversions".
It goes to the main hotel page. I assume that the bonus points offer is dead, but this makes it unclear.

Still waiting on other bonus postings, but happy about the progress.
