How to get 250k BA miles with this combination:

I have 204,000 BA miles.

I need 250k miles for a reward in March.

Here are my other airline mileage balances:

AA - 59,189
DL - 96,268
NW - 908
UA - 72,465
US - 20,470

Here are hotel mileage balances:

Hyatt - 1,527
Marriott - 8,202
Starwood - 23,178 (+5k bonus for 20k+ point airline transfer)
Hilton - 5,678

I need to figure out a way to get 250k miles to my BA account ASAP.

I can transfer all of my Starwood points at a 1:1 ratio, then add their 5k bonus for transferring 20k+ miles. The total transfer is 28,178 SPG to BA.

Now I'm left with 232,178 BA miles - still short 17,822.

Any suggestions on laundering these 17,822 miles from above?

Thanks,

Eddie Whitman
