Protecting Frequent Flyer Miles
I have over 70,000 America West miles, and I am getting worried! Is there a way to convert through a hotel program and then move the miles into another frequent flyer program? I have a NW account that may be the safest place to park miles! Feel free to respond back channel to [email protected]

Unfortunately, America West does not participate anymore in the HHonors Reward Exchange (neither does NW, by the way), and HHonors is the only hotel program allowing transfer of miles into its points (several hotel programs allow transfers into miles though).
Have you thought of just using your miles? You have more than enough for a choice of rewards, including tickets on America West's partner airlines.

This is something I am starting to think about as well. I'll let you know if I learn anything-

Well, Well, Well.
Hey everyone, welcome my friend Ambul to the boards.
He's a buddy from AOL.
I've been after them for a long time to come over here. And one by one...
