Instructions by gleff on page 1
gleff posted awesome step by step instructions (I performed the CO transfer 5 minutes ago!) on page 1. I called (713)/952-1630 per the number on his post.

You could also use it for a couple mag subscriptions using magazines for miles, of course. All this has probably been said but I was out of the loop a while. Too much baseball lately. I love it!
GO SOX!

1. Is there any name mathching? Can a family member with a different last name transfer miles from CO or UA to my AGR account, and can I transfer from my AGR to someone else's OP or MP account?
2. If yes to 1, is there any reason you can't do CO>AGR>CO (someone else's OP account)? Beats mileage transfer that CO offers for a fee.

I tried to move miles from daughter's Midwest account to my AGR account (same last name). No dice.
Maybe she (age 4) called Midwest and told them "no way!"

I e-mailed to transfer miles from CO to Amtrak. They replied after a few days saying no problem, we'll transfer the miles in 7 to 10 days. A few days later, miles were pulled from CO but not deposited in Amtrak (yet). Is this normal or should I start worrying that my miles have been lost?

A reminder for everyone - it's getting close to the end of the year, so don't forget to do your 25K to United, if you haven't already!!!!!!!!!

United miles transferable?
So what is the best way I can use my unusable 15,000 United miles? I am not planning to fly United in the near future and would rather use them for car rental or hotel stay. Any tips?
