Marcie, I like to look at the FlyerTalk AMX forum to keep abreast of what's going on with various AMX programs and MR point promotions:

Just as an example, there is once again a promotion whereby one can transfer 50,000 MR points to Delta and not only get 50 percent bonus miles (75,000 total miles), but also 25,000 Medalion Qualification Miles (Elite) status miles. But there are promotions with other airlines also.
