Converting orphan miles to...what program?
I have 7500 miles sitting in my acount. They're orphan miles.

Can they be converted to hotel/car rental/credit cards?

Thanks,
Dan

I have about 8,000 asiamiles left after getting two transpacific business class tickets. They expire at the end of April.

Any update on what they can be used for?

Have you check Asia Miles web site? Anyway, nothing excited is available. If nothing is of your interest, give a lounge pass to others or donate away.

Points.com allows you to swap those miles for gift certificates, other airline programs, or hotel points. Not sure how good/bad their exchange rates are, but if your miles are about to expire anyway, that could be a last resort.
