10,000 Hilton Points = 1,500 Miles and must be transfreered out in 10,000 point multiples.

They transfer in at 1:2 and out at 20:3

Your net miles lost after completing the transfer from Miles to Miles using Hilton is 7 miles for every 10 earned

Consider consolidating from multiple accounts and leaving the points in Hilton and use their air awards

Using Domestic 48 Numbers, (the most common award) only as an illustrative index

Hilton Miles
Southwest/Midwest 85,000 42,500
Alaska/America West 90,000 45,000
American/Continetal 100,000 50,000

Using your numbers of 155K miles in 5 programs you would end up with 310K HH Points - These awards are only coach

Using The clearing house approach with Hilton yor 85,000 miles in the other program would net 15,000 additional points to Delta and strand 15,000 points in orphan programs

Rule 1. Pick a program and concentrate all of your activity to maximize your benifit

Rule 2 See Rule 1
