Well I figured out if I got a magazine (Cigar Aficianado at 400 miles), my account extended out to 2012. With just over 10k miles, that was the way to go.

No conversion program let me participate unless I had 25k miles or was an elite. HELLLOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! If I had 25k miles or was an elite, I wouldn't want to transfer my miles out -- I would just buy a flight!!!!! Seems ...-backwards to me.
