Another tip: if you're legally maried, ask your wife to enroll for new account online (1 K points) and update her profile twice (more 2 K points). Than you can combine the 3 K points in her account with yours.

Wow! My faith is renewed in HHonors! I updated my profile twice today (after reading the posts that it is working!) and then called HHonors. They comped my like 760 points to get me to 20,000!!! Thanks for the suggestion Davidlee, I never would have believed it would work until you mentioned it. Thanks to all the other fliers too!

I need 45k points in my HH acct for a reward. What way is the most beneficial? Is Delta 2 for 1? What about other airlines? NW, AA, CO, UA? Thanks

You'll want to go with DL unless speed is not important. UA and CO use a completely electronic process that typical takes at least twice as long to get the HHonors points posted as DL's paper process (DL sends you the award and you mail the award to HHonors).
Isn't technology grand?
The DL process takes about two weeks including the round trip mailings ... UA and CO much longer usually (month +)

Other sources for earning HH points:
-hilton stays
-AMEX membership rewards points
-dining miles (then transfer the miles as described above)
-AMex or Visa Hhonors enrollment bonus, then daily spending with the card. (10,000 bonus, then 2 to 3 points per dollar spent)
-HH shopping
-E-rewards
-my points
-Countrywide home loans. I got 35,000 from this for a refinance.
-profile updates (2,000 points per quarter)
-there is possibly a telephone long distance deal with Hhonors but I can't remember.

If want to use AMEX points, launder them through Delta if time permits.
1 AMEX point converts to 1 HHonors point
or
1 AMEX point converts to 1 DL mile, which converts to 2 HHonors points
1 AMEX point converts to 1 HHonors point
or
1 AMEX point converts to 1 DL mile, which converts to 2 HHonors points

Could one of you help me with the Delta > HH conversion - I have 6500 'orphan' Delta miles that I would like to convert - what do I do? Is this a phone transaction with Delta or can I do it online? Any help would be appreciated, either by posting here or emailing me at [email protected]
Thanks in Advance, Lynne
