Point transfer (any ideas?)
 

I've had a US Air Dividend Miles (Visa) credit card for several years. I'm about to let it expire because I've joined the Marriott Rewards program (Visa also).
I've got a little better than 10,000 points accrued on my Dividend Miles card.
Can these be transferred?
With only 10,000 miles, there's not enough to get a ticket anywhere and I hate to see them go to waste. Anybody got any ideas?
Yhanks,
Mike

AFAIK, it takes at least 20K to get anything.
Remember that AC & UA & the whole Star Alliance are now UA partners, so you can earn by flying any of these.
I'm in the same boat with 10K UA, which can at least get 2 island-to-island awards for Hawaii.

probably it would be better if you will post this question to US Airways forum... re: transfer of those miles you may try to use points.com to exchange it to whateverprogram you are flying now (if you are lucky and this option exist) or to some other programs.

There are several sites with alternative currencies that can be exchanged to Miles or Points - check out the following:

FWIW, I got these links off the S.P.A.M. forum . . . there's a ton of ideas in there to maximize your points and rewards for traveling. Hope that helps! :)

Actually, there's a simpler way -- Randy's Mileage Converter.

Unfortunately, according to the tool, you need at least 160K US Dividend Miles in order to convert them to MR points, and if you had 160K miles, I don't think you'd have much of a problem finding somewhere to go with them. ;)

Regrettably, even if you've got 160K US miles, the 'exchange friction' results in confiscatory devaluation of your miles:

US Airways Dividend Miles converts to (starting) 160,000
Hawaiian Airlines HawaiianMiles (at a ratio of 4:1) converts to 40,000
Hilton HHonors (at a ratio of 1:2) converts to 80,000
American AAdvantage (at a ratio of 10000:1500) converts to 12,000
Diners Club Club Rewards (at a ratio of 1:1) converts to 10,000
Marriott Rewards (at a ratio of 2.5:1.5) Total: 6,000

Holy cow! No thanks! :eek:

edited to add: I recently emptied out my AA account by exchanging my last few hundred miles for magazine subscriptions. Perhaps US has a similar offer? At least you'd get something for the miles that way.

So what you're saying is - there's not a simpler way? ;)

There's a simpler way to find out how (or if) a conversion is possible.

Whether or not you'd actually want to do that conversion is your lookout. ;)
