Thanks for the reminder, Chuckles. I just moved 30k miles in two accounts.

And the conversion rates are brutal.

with 35k you will have more trading power

Also a reminder for Amtrak "Select" level members that the cap for the year is 50,000 miles per year.

My transfer from CO finally made it to Amtrak today. So if your miles have not arrived yet - it's time to begin worrying!!!

I called CO on 12/3 requesting that miles be moved. They appeared in my Amtrak account on 12/4. ^ Although the phone agent seemed to be unfamilar with the process, she had some sort of cheat sheet that she followed, which worked. Possibly the phone approach is faster than the e-mail route for some reason.

You may already be aware of this and have just decided it doesn't work for you, but UA does offer some flights for 15,000 miles. Details in website below.

Apparently, they're wise to this abuse. See items #96 and #99 of this post.

It's just a matter of who (if anyone) does the checking.

I cannot understand your reasoning on this, mahasamatman.
