This is an interesting topic since I have just encountered a situation deciding whether to use AA miles or Hilton points.

AA - 25,000 miles for a domestic award.
same 25,000 miles = 50,000 Hilton points

Hilton - 100,000 points for an AA ticket.
same 100,000 points = 15,000 AA miles.

It doesn't seem that transfer is worthwhile in either direction. I have too many Hilton points relative to my AA miles. So I decided to issue a Hilton/AA ticket which also earns miles.

Any other opinions or considerations?

I do not think that I could bring myself to pay the 50,000 mile equivalent for an otherwise 25,000 mile attainable ticket.

I would have to be FLUSHwith points.
