Points.com -> AA miles conversion
 
Hi

Does anyone one if I can convert my AA miles into Hotel points.

Points.com allows Priority club points into AA miles but not the other way around. I don't fly AA that often or any partner airlines.

Same applies to my United Card.
I have a small number of miles on each (8k and 5k respectively)

Thanks

aa miles > hhonors points

1 mile = 2 points

5k miles increments

$25 fee per transfer

DON'T go through points.com, you'll lose most of the value of the points. As mentioned above, the best you'll do is the 1:2 direct conversion from AA to HHonors by using the link on aa.com. You can also redeem for Intercontinental points or stays and Marriott stays.

Thanks - any idea of the conversion to Diners club points? I am thinking of applying for one for my company expenses. That way I can convert to Priority points too

Thanks

Look into WebFlyer's point conversion website for additional conversions among a group of companies.

Just like the HHonors, it's all explained at the aa.com site. From the menu at left, select AAdvantage -> Partners & Mileage Programs, then Hotels for Hilton (HHonors) and Credit Cards for Diners Club. In the latter case, you get to:

https://www.aa.com/apps/AAdvantage/V...artnersContent

However, I'm very confused about whether UK DC points work the same as US DC points. (The above is written in terms of US DC points.) The reason is that US DC points convert 1:1 (back) to AA miles, while at the UK DC rewards page:

http://www.dinersclub.co.uk/dce_cont...g/traveloffers

it says you get 2.5 AA miles for each DC point. If your UK DC points are differently valued, the AA page I gave you might not be correct. You might have to contact UK DC and ask them to explain the discrepancy, or perhaps ask UK DC members in the DC forum on FT.
