Recommendation needed for Frontier miles
 
I have about 2500 frontier miles that are expiring soon. I never fly frontier and have no plans to anytime again.

I can xfer the miles into American miles but I only get like 300 through my points.

Any one have any suggestions on other options?

I have no interest in using the miles for a mag subscription or buying something to keep them from expiring.

Welcome to FlyerTalk, nycdave66!

Your existing 2500 miles are worth roughly $25.

If you did intend to fly Frontier you could get 25K more miles, and keep your existing 2500 alive, by applying for a Barclay credit card.

I don't want credit hit for miles I'll never use. Any other ideas.

I think you have answered your own question. Don't believe there are other options that would be acceptable to you.

Most people here look for ways to increase the miles to a level where they can be used.

If so, you should be happy. From many other programs, you either couldn't even transfer if you had that few miles, or you couldn't even transfer at all.

And 2500 is very few miles (from a "use" threshold standpoints), so it's not surprising that you can't find a good use for them, especially at a comparatively small FF program.

But in case you decide you jsut want to keep them alive, the simplest thing would be if you have a short car rental or short hotel stay that you can credit to them, and then not worry about it for another two years. They have a couple car rental and several hotel partners now. And this solution involves no "credit hit".
