How to beat the 1:5 conversion rate between miles and points...
Just a thought.
50K miles = 100K HHonors Points
100K Points = 15K miles ( 20K for AA )
With the gaming chips reward...
110K Points = $400 ( The conversion sucks as HHW is worth much more than $400)
Now, if you really want miles for points, $400 can get you a lot more than 15-20K miles if you plan your mileage run properly.
The best part is that you can pick miles on any airline you want. ( Partner or not )
