True, but again, assuming BA and AmEx don't divorce or any other some such change, never can 1 Avios > 1 MR.
Of course, but that wasn't what you originally said ;)
My impression is that OP is asking if 1.35 BA or 1 MR is worth more.  And the answer is that it depends on factors like current bonuses and elapsed time since the last bonus.

No, but I can't be expected to account for every possible exigency before and in answering.

It goes without saying that the calculus could change... AmEx could shut down one's account, or go bankrupt, or moshiach could come.

As it stands right now, 1 MR > BA, period.

That sounds more like it. Was wondring what they were talking about when it was stated 1.8 or 1.6 for MR.

Don't think MR has been 1.8 since the CO days but 1.6 is definitely feasible with this bonus.

When I wrote 1.8 I was basing it off what I got when I sold mine a while back. Have not sold MR in a while.

But surely they overbooked and will have to add flights which means room for mileage based upgrades on unfilled planes;)

2 Newbie Question here:
1. Is there a fee for transferring MR or UR into Avios?
2. How does one actually initiate the transfer?

1. No.
2. On either the Chase UR website or the American Express website.
