[QUOTE=dbasch;13470470]Hi All,

With the help of FlyerTalk, I have managed to accumulate a fair amount of miles in the last few years.

I have mail ordered wacky items and gone on random goose chases. It has been fun and I owe it all to FlyerTalk .

However, the time has come to inject some strategery into my miles accumulation.

I live in Southern California. How can I best merge the usage of the miles programs below?


Best options in my opinion is open a couple of credit cards picking up sign up bonuses (normally 20K- 25K) to get your accounts to a level where you can redeem a ticket. Other option for Hawaiian and American is to transfer into Hilton 15K= 30K Hilton Honors points. You could get a couple of hotel nights if you transfer both of those, especially if you add a Hilton CC.
