Worth less with the (recent) changes to BA fuel surcharge policies.

As per FT, it's a targeted offer for 30/40% bonus. Look out for it in your email inbox.

I logged into my MR account and see the bonus offer when clicking on the "trasfer to BA" option.
Valid till 3/31, one bonus per cardmember.

i didn't get any email, but in my mr account it shows up on the transfer to ba option. pretty nice deal. these mr points keep getting more valuable... arguably a better value than spg at this point.

It's nice if you want to fly JFK-LAX or SFO on business for 36K MR points. Nicest business (or first) I've done domestically (besides Cathay). No fuel surcharges. Whole ticket was $10. And if the power ports are broken on these planes (which supposidly they all still are), AA will maybe give you 20K miles as a courtesy like they did with me

aa has only 2 cabin planes on the jfk-lax route?

Anyone know about this? I just heard about it. Details that I heard are that it is one transfer per BA account.

Did you see what I quoted from the BA transfer page regarding the offer?

This offer is pretty much worthless-

Curious if anyone on here can find a date, any date , available where they can book JFK-SFO (2 cabin flight) or
jfk-lax (3 cabin) in either first or business on AA through BA. I fly this route often and have never been able to find availability using BA miles,

Is this once per amex account or once per ba account?

Both for one transfer or for two different ones.

@kivabb, kayef, karen:
How does the transfer appear on the BA account. Does it appear like one simple transaction, or one plus another for the bonus?
