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.

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.

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...

For a limited time, OnePass members may transfer miles to any other OnePass account for a service charge of just $4 per 500 miles. Whether you want to consolidate miles for future redemption or transfer them for immediate use, OnePass MilePass makes it possible - and easy.
For more info...
