I have around 18K orphan miles with Varig,what can I do with them?
Is there anyway to convert them? Most of my miles are with United or NW. Is there any program like Hilton which would allow me to convert them? Thanks in advance!

This is based on little actual information, but it's a hunch:
I know Delta and Varig have a codesharing agreement--- you may want to see if Delta flights can be credited to the account to bring it up to an award level. Just a thought.

Why not follow the bouncing balls here, and you'll end up with 46,000 free Hilton points free if you work it right:

And they have Varig in their transfer plan I THINK? Most airline awards start at 25,000 levels so you would easy have enough for their base ticket, maybe a better zone level to boot?

[*]that the reader is not currently an HHonors member (not a good assumption on this BB), and
[*]that the reader is married (dunno whether Hilton honors DPs) and that their spouse is willing to register for an account of their AND combine points.
