TRANSFER OF MILES
 

Can you transfer airline FF miles to another program of airline / credit card /

Can you donate these to someone.

You can donate miles to charities.

You can transfer United miles to Diner Club rewards miles (in multiple of 10K miles).

You can combine American and USAirways miles for a reward - the miles are effectively transferred from one airline to the other.

Miler, what specific programs did you have in mind?

I was looking for transfer from UA, LH, AA, BA into Hilton, Marriott or some charities.

miler, so far I have the following USA program information.
[*]United -- 5,000 miles = 10,000 Hilton points.
(transfer in increments of 5,000 UA miles)
[*]American -- 5,000 miles = 5,000 Hilton points
(5,000 AA miles minimum transfer)

I will return to this post and edit as I gather additional information.

Thanks a lot

Anyone with suggestions, post here.

I know you can redeem AA miles for free nights at Marriott (gift certificates), but Latin Pass is the only airline where you can transfer miles to points.

CO redeems 1-2 with HH program - 5K miles to 10K points.

TWA is 1-1 with HH.

When did TWA only convert 1:1? My 1999 HHonor guide shows 1 TWA mile = 2 HH points.

Here is the page on the United web site for their Charity Miles program: http://www.ual.com/site/primary/0,10017,1363,00.html

TWA conversion is 10,000 Hilton points for 5,000 TWA miles. http://www.hilton.com/hhonors/rewards/exchange_1.html

The credit card 'transfer-programs' differ a lot from country to country.

It wouldn't be possible to transfer any miles from any airline into Diners points in Switzerland (having a Diners issued by Citybank Switzerland).

Rudi makes a good point. For that matter some airlines (notably British Airways) rules also vary from country to country. I once had a long dialog with a guy about the BA program, finally we realised that he was talking about the BA Canada program, and I was talking about the BA US program.

If you're talking about CO miles...

I think Starwood card also allows such transfers?
