Expiring Miles
 

I was going to transfer my '98 expiring AA miles to Hilton Hhonors - but just learned they do not transfer to Hilton anymore! I hate to see any miles expire, even a small amount. Any suggestions what to do with less
than 10,000 mmiles on American? Thanks!

ReneeMoss: welcome on FlyerTalk. You get probably more specific advise on your subject if you place it under the AA and/or Hilton-topic - please (and it also helps if you give a very brief hint in your title: f.e. "transfer a few AA miles to HH").

Thank you and enjoy it here.

You could open a Diners Card account & get 20000 bonus club rewards points (converts to 10000 miles). Try looking at the "Childrens skymiles accounts" thread in the Delta section for some other suggestions.

I'm assuming that you would be willing to fly somewhere with AA before the end of the year...

Thanks Rudi - & baobab - It doesn't pay for me to waste Diners miles on American - they will bring DOUBLE for transfer to Delta in Feb. I use the Hilton Hhonors programs to save bits and pieces of expiring mileage - but no can do with American - so guess they will just have to expire!

You can convert miles into MCI gift certificates. And rather than let them expire, donate them.

If you have at least 20,000 miles in your account, United is offering a free, one-year extension on MileagePlus miles expiring in 1998. You don't even have to claim an award to get the extension. Check out this month's MileagePlus newsletter or www.ual.com.
