This. My Honors account is set to whichever program (currently UA) that I'm least likely to fly on or earn miles with. This way, I don't lose those orphan miles.

LAN (now LATAM) miles (kms) expire after about 3 years, and there's no way to reset that except for a paid flight on LATAM metal (which extends all the LATAM kms you have another 3 years). Simple earning of points does nothing to reset your LATAM expiration.
So if you have no plan to reset your LATAM kms via a paid LATAM metal flight, nor any plan to use them before they expire, then what's the point of giving up Hilton Honors points to earn LATAM miles/kms?
