Well it seems that it is possible by a rather round about way to gets miles from Marriott Rewards for tickets in business or first, see this thread: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/Forum...L/000336.html.
At least on AA or UA anyway, (and if you already had miles in their program). I am quite new to MR, having joined just before I flew on my LP mileage run in June, but in view of their much more extensive and in quite a few cases generous awards I don't think I'll have a problem with having to transfer miles to MR if LP is going to make it difficult to get award travel. Good example of a great MR award is a 7 night stay in any participating Marriott in the world and 2 coach tickets to that destination for 100,000 miles (200,000 points). For me that would mean staying at a first class hotel in Paris for example (assuming availability) and also getting two tickets (hopefully for next summer), not a bad use of 100,000 miles IMHO.


Sorry, but the above link seems not to work. I did copy and paste as usual, but it ain't working this time. Look in Marriott from 7/28/00 under "Best Use of Marriott Points". Maybe someone else can get the URL for this.
