What do to do with Alaska miles
I don't fly Alaskan but have some miles due to merge with Virgin. Any ideas on how I can use them other than on their listed airline partners (which I don't really use)? Ideally would like to transfer these to another airline or hotel program or even buy a gift card or some merchandise but don't see those options.

AA has a pretty strong US network if you're not into flying AS or VX. However, you got the miles from having an active account with VX, so must have used your account there at some point. How about flying VX?
FYI: It's Alaska Airlines, not Alaskan Airlines.

See http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/alask...-use-them.html from last week for answers to this question. My approach: donate them to Make-a-Wish.
