I know there is points.com, there are some direct transfer options for some programs, there are some ways that charge fees, there are some clever hacks where you transfer through a middleman program, etc... I'd love something that can show me the options or at least present the choices on a chart to help me sort it out.

I found this but it doesn't seem to cover everything:

Thank you--

p.s. my immediate short-term need is to receive United miles from a friend of mine. Is there a way to do that without the high fees charged by UA?
