No one has ever answered this, so I'm going to add some more information and see if anyone can give me a suggestion.
Right now, I have around 20K miles on USAir. I presume that those miles will somehow end up in an AAdvantage account. I have an old AAdvantage account in which my miles have expired. I took big flight in early June, of which one short leg was on AA and one leg on JetBlue. Presumably I can get those miles into the AA account. Is that the best use of them? Is there any advantage to putting them into, say, the British Airways program (which I gather is the only one I can put miles into late, without having a pre-existing account)?
My husband and daughter don't have AAdvantage accounts, so I gather that their miles can only be put into a British Airways account. Am I right? Is there any point in doing so? Like me, they each have around 20K USAirways miles and nothing in any other program.
