point transfer help

i'm short 15,000 Alaska airline miles. I have ultimate rewards, united, and sw miles. Is there anyway to transfer any of these to Alaska airline miles? even multiple transfers.

thanks

One possibility -- You can convert UR to Hyatt at a ratio of 1:1. You can then convert Hyatt to Alaska at a ratio of 2.5:1. So you would need 40,000 UR --> 40,000 Hyatt ---> 16,000 Alaska.

If sw is Starwood points, you can transfer them directly to Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan, and the transfer ratio is 1:1. It may take a week or two to get the points transferred over, though.

Assuming sw would mean South West

United and Southwest miles are not transferable to the Alaska program.

Could always open an Alsaka airlines credit card or SPG card
