Hi,

I have 4 different account with US Air ( for my family ). All of us have 34000 miles in our accounts. We have got 1000 miles for
e-statements.

How to get additional 1000 miles to get free tickets to Hawaii ?. Is there any credit card which will allow me to move my miles to 4 different accounts or if I sign up for Sprint Long distance, can I ask them to put 1000 miles in 4 different accounts rather than 5000 miles in one account ?.

Thanks everyone for your help .

Sign each account up for iDine with a different CC. Take your wife to dinner 4 times. 10 miles per $ times $100 dinner will give you the 1000 points.

Fly somewhere.

4 free tix to HI are going to be awfully hard to come by -- if you have specific dates in mind you might want to prepare yourself for the idea that you'll need to use a premium award.

AMEX Membership Rewards will allow you to transfer the miles into the 4 accounts. Just "link" the accounts online where the link happens instantly and no one can question whether your kids are AMEX cardmembers too.

You could review the various partners here (http://www.usairways.com/dividendmiles/earningmiles/index.htm). $100 worth of flowers = 1,000 miles. Online shopping could also work. However, buying 2,000 miles for $85 as Neo suggested may be the most cost effective method.

Seeing that you are in PHX, take advantage of the AWA fare structure.

For example, you can fly from PHX-LAX (US Code, UA Metal) for $78 round trip and earn the miles. $78 to get you to hawaii is not a bad deal.
