The cost to transfer is $125 for 10K miles. Is it a good deal?


Also, does anyone know that magazine for miles or donation to charity extends expiration date for miles for Delta?

Thanks
Paying 1.25 cents per mile is not something I would do, but others have another view.

If your relatives will never use these miles, maybe that's all you can do. Don't the accounts stay active with even a small amount of activity. If it's just a matter of keeping the accountz alive, how about signing each relative up for Delta's dining program and then having them buy a cheap meal (even a pizza) at an approved vendor?
