Orphan miles to Hilton?
Hi all
Further to Ozstamps thread on getting stacks of Hilton points by transferring orphan bonus miles from various FF accounts I wish to ask the following.
Shortly my Frecuenta miles will be transferred to Hilton. Yay.
However I am sitting here examining my orphan miles. I have 8,000 kilometres, 4000
of which expire at the end of this year. Can I transfer these to Hilton or Marriott or somewhere else useful?
I also have
4,000 Aeromexico miles,
5,000 Latinpass miles
1,000 Smiles miles
Any ideas - anybody successfully transferred
these to Hilton? Or anywhere else useful for that matter?
cheers Peter

Not good
I have however written to Latinpass asking that they transfer my miles to Marriott (fingers crossed - you never know).
I have some good news however. I visited the Lanpass site and they are giving away 1500 kilometres for updating your profile. Shades of the Hilton promotion methinks! Anyway this will bring me up to 9500 points. I should get 1000 bonus points for christmas which will give me enough to transfer!
10,000 points = 10,000 Hilton points!
Ditto for my spouse.

A while ago I asked Guy Booth of Latin Pass if any Latin Pass miles can be converted to Hilton and he said yes.
