So the best value for SPG is to transfer to Marriott and then hotel + flight to Aeroplan?

Has anyone tried to convert Merrill + points to an Airline travel bank. The points don't seem to be in demand so I'm wondering if I can just redeem at 2c pp for a flight and then cancel to have a travel bank credit which seems to be more marketable. Any data points?
