Best method for mypoints to AA miles?
Can anyone advise what they would consider the best redemption method to "transfer" mypoints to AAdvantage miles? I know of using HHilton, but because of the poor conversion rate, I'm wondering if there's a better alternative.
Thanks,

Well, mypoints also offers Marriott Rewards points, 1500 mypoints to 1000 MR points. Then, once you have 30,000 MR points, you can exchange them for 10,000 AA miles (you can exchange them in smaller quantities, but the exchange rate is worse). But it takes MONTHS (and at least a couple of phone calls) to get each one of those MR certs out of mypoints....
