TAM Fidelidade/Multiplus miles to LAN miles
My wife has lots of TAM miles. Will these at some point become LAN ff miles? Could she do this on her own? Can LAN miles currently be used on all TAM and American Airlines flights? Just thought of this because we will book an Alaska Airlines domestic flight and listed choices for ff mile programs to receive points include American, LAN and Delta but not TAM.

Probably in the future they will unify the FF programs. So far, they are working in separated ways, and it seems they will go this way for some (long?) time... 
If you can read Portuguese, it may help (or not):

I didn't find at TAM's FAQ no useful information about it.

Thanks. I'll suggest she call TAM. For the AS flight, she'll likely have to choose between having miles go to her Delta or AA (almost empty) account. Maybe someday she can move AA miles to TAM or vice versa. She has more DL miles, so that makes more sense, even with DL's high requirements for flights. I'll have my miles go to my AA account.

It may take quite a while, judging from the speed of the alliance change. You can use both TAM and LAN miles for Oneworld flights.
TAM miles can be converted to cash (prepaid card) if you are near the expiration date and (probably) have an address in Brazil and CPF.
