What Airline Programs have Hotel Redemption Opportunities?
I have looked across most of the programs that I am a part of and found only AA & BA offer hotel redemptions. Have I missed anyone? Anything that can be done with UA NW or CO miles? Thanks in advance.

You can transfer CO miles to Hilton (apperently it takes forever) or to Amtrak and then to whatever hotels Amtrak partners with (although with them the max is 25K miles per year).
I dunno about NW.

Qantas has redemption for hotels in Australia as well, but like other programs the redemption rates aren't particuarly attractive, they can be found at

The number of miles depends entirely on the price of the hotel for that season.
The exchange rate between miles and hotel cost is really quite poor.

The AA hotel program is through AA vacations and they offer you something of less than one cent credit per mile that you wish to spend. One of the worst deals out there if you ask me.
