without wanting to 'jump the gun' (I haven't even got my million bonus miles yet!) I do have a few questions about what they can be used for.

Can anyone clarify any of the following?

a) Can one transfer the points to HHonors, and if so, is it at the 1 mile to 2 HHonors points conversion rate?

b) Latinpass states that those people who are enrolled in a GENERIC latinpass account may transfer their miles to a MEMBER airline frequent flyer account (i.e Taca, Copa, Aviateca etc etc.) Am I correct in the assumption therefore that the miles could go to my COPA or TACA account if I held one?

c) If the answer to b) is yes, then once the miles were in the COPA or TACA account, one would spend them according to the rules of the COPA or TACA account. So am I right in thinking that one could, in the case of TACA, redeem them for travel on AMERICAN AIRLINES or AMERICAN EAGLE without having to transfer them on again - just cash them in as a TACA reward for AMERICAN?

d) I am assuming that the latinpass miles could not be transferred from the generic Latinpass account into the US airways or KLM frequent traveller account if one was held.

Any experienced FT'ers out there who could share their thoughts and knowledge on this matter? It would be great if one could transfer them to TACA and use them on American Airlines!

PS - sorry if this is a bit off topic for the thread!
