"And, lastly, do I just go to the specific frequent flyer program that I choose and transfer the miles into that program? Let's say I put all of my miles into American. Can I then shop thru all of the One World airlines to find which one will work best?"

I'm not sure how you got the impression that you can transfer points from one airline's FFP into another airline's FFP. In most cases, you can't -- at least, not without significant devaluation of your miles.

What you can do is redeem miles in one airline's FFP for travel on one of that FFP's airline partners.
The way I read nicoleraephotos post 1 was that he/she want to transfer miles from the credit card program to 1 or more FFP's. Some of the OP cc's are of course fixed to specific a FFP. I have no idea if the other cards have FFP options on where miles can transferred to. Nicoleraephotos can easily check that out from the credit card loyality web sites
