Use up my miles? Combine Star Alliance and AmEx?
Here's one for you - I have 140,000 Membership Reward AmEx miles (we have been saving them for the BIG trip) and we have about 140,000 USAirways miles......Can the Membership Reward be transferred to a Star Alliance ticket - such as Lufthansa and then use the USAirways in a Star Alliance ticket and possibly get two or three tickets from PHL to Greece? Anyone ever do this???? What are my chances to get 2 or 3 out of 4 family tickets on Lufthansa on the same plane next summer 2009?

Missynancy, you should peruse the US threads for answers to this. Theoretically, you should be able to get 2 tix for 100,000 miles on *A with US miles - but you probably will need to book near the 330 day window and there is no guarantee that US will show availability for LH, especially if you are looking for weekend travel. But if you can, be flexible - also look into departing from EWR or IAD if not too inconvenient. I don't know Amex MR very well to comment on.
