Assuming Amex "miles" are Membership Rewards points, you can transfer all your miles and points to HHonors for a total of 270,000 HH points.

270K points is worth travel as follows, with generally more flexible rules than FF programs:

6 companion flights @ 40,000 points on HP or UA (30,000 points left over)

3 domestic US trips @ 85,000 pts without a companion on HP, AA, CO, NW, UA, AC, AK, YZ, US (15,000 points left over) (also only 75,000 points for each RT on WN)

And with just 10,000 more points & VIP status(see Hilton forum for many ways to get easy points and VIP status, like getting a credit card) you can use 280,000 points for a one week vacation in Hawaii including airfare for two from anywhere in the continental US.

I use HH as a transfer repository for all my miles, and redeem them for hotels and air trips. Generally, hotel redemptions are the best values, though the air rewards, especially companion tix, can be worthwhile, too.

You can explore all your options at the HHonors website, starting here if you like:
