Transfer of miles to CO
From which airline or hotel programs could miles be transfered into a CO account?

The following list is presumably not exhaustive --
Hotel programs:
Starwood
Hilton
Marriott
Priority Club
Other programs:
American Express Membership Rewards
Diners Club
Amtrak Guest Rewards
But the better question would be.. why would you want to do something like that?

If you're not in a hurry, you can transfer miles directly to Hilton HHonors

And do I call CO to do this, or Hilton?
Thanks

Any idea on how long it takes to post... on average?

I would suggest the Amtrak route- took one business day CO to Amtrak a first time, and a few days the next time. From Amtrak, you can transfer to Hilton online- takes a day or two, IME.
Either way, I would assume you call CO to initiate a transfer.

Considering the upcoming Delta-NWA-CO alliance, any chance I may be able to transfer Delta miles to CO or directly to Amtrak?
What is the exchange rate for HHonors?
