Why? SPG can be transferred to anyone's FF account, right?

Dear lurker,
I need 25000 AA miles to do an award booking. My friend help me to transfer his SPG points to my AA account one month ago. But I did not receive it. I have two questions:
1. Is it against rule to transfer SPG points to other people's AA account?
2. If it is OK, what should we do now?

No, just to your own, officially. Any other result would be YMMV.

I apologize if this is the wrong place to ask, but are there ever promotions for transferring Starpoints to AA miles (i.e. better conversion rate than 20,000 -> 25,000)? I'm thinking to convert some points to miles, but didn't know if there are any promotions to keep an eye out for. I don't need the miles anytime soon.

Any new data points I could use on amount of time to transfer to AA if I initiated a transfer from SPG to AA today? Other than the standard company reply of up to three weeks.

Don't know how new you consider this, but I did a transfer a little over a month ago and it took a couple of days - see my post #149. Posts #156 and #158 also report a 3 day transfer time.

That's okay - I figured it was something like that.
In case you're interested, but may already be aware of, there is also a general thread regarding transfer of Starpoints to any airline:
