Why do you want to maximise your miles? Can't you have 2 programmes? Most people here on FT have more than 6 at any one time! Combining the points together will not make it better - especially when the conversion rate is not 1:1. Best to just use up the Skywards points if you don't want it anymore.
I too prefer having my miles all in one account, because I find more expensive awards to be far better value than cheaper awards generally.
If the conversion rate was even something like 1:.75 I would consider it. To me 52,500 miles together is more valuable than 30,000 + 30,000 in 2 seperate accounts, but to each, his own.
