Don’t do the Choice to United transfer – I tried it and only received the regular transfer ratio, not the bonused rate.
The Choice-United transfer is old news. To transfer MR to AA, everyone used to transfer to SPG and then to AA. Same thing.

So what is the new way to transfer to AA?

SPG=Marriott
You lose some value of your MR or UR points, but if you have large amount of either and need AA miles, this is the way to do it.
