There are a few ff accounts that allow you to transfer miles but there are catches ($)

for example HA allows you to transfer currently if you have a HA Wells Fargo CC
Problem here is they are selling to Bank of America next month so this opportunity will be gone

AA, UA, NW, allow you to transfer 10,000 miles a year but charge $25 fee and $0.01 per mile so its cheaper to buy miles for small amounts then transfer

Probably more information than you needed to start and the big concern is that these options vanquish quickly and may not be there in 2-3 years when you want them
