Possible to transfer miles between *Alliance accounts?
I've got about 20k in miles sitting in my United account, which I would like to transfer over to my OnePass account. Does anyone know if this is possible, and if so, how to go about it?
Thanks!
Thanks!

ETA: My suggestion would be to either buy the miles or credit a CO flight to your UA account to get enough for a free ticket or upgrade. There's always airline credit cards.

Yes, I had to credit a short-haul flight to UA to keep my miles from expiring. Was hoping there might have been a better way, but seems like there is not.
Thanks for the response.

You can try the Mileage Converter on webflyer.com, but usually there is a fair amount of "leakage" when transferring between programs.

with 20K miles, I would designate UA on hotel stays or rental car usage to get to 25K; use it; then let it die. using airline trips gives up EQM toward elite or mm status.
