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.

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.

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".
