Conclusion
Mos conversion won’t make any sense at all since the rates are well below 1:1. The only one worth looking at is SPG points. The conversion rate is 1:1 and you also get a 5,000 bonus for every 20,000 Starpoints that you transfer. So for 20K Starpoints you will receive a total of 31,250 AAdvantage miles.

Would Marriott Hotel + Air package get the 25% bonus as well? If it does, I’d think this is a decent deal
I believe it would since Marriott is on the list of eligible programs.
[…] Convert Hotel Points to AA miles with 25% Bonus:  Usually these promos aren’t a good idea, but with Starwood being a hotel point that you can transfer to AA it makes things interesting.  With SPG, you already get a 25% bonus when transferring points to airlines in 20K increments.  Stack that with this promotion and your 20K SPG transfer becomes 31,250 AA miles!  Magic!!  That’s almost enough for a one way, off-peak flight to Asia!

Haha. No, thank you American air. Hardly any saver awards. I’d rather convert them to Alaska. Better deal even without the 25% bonus.
