NW Points need help
I have 14553 points with NW that I have had for awhile. Can I purchase a ticket with any other FF program where I already have points with these miles?
Maybe I could find one that has a 15000 pt requirement only. Does NW allow this or how would it work?
Do I have to use a "middle man" and lose on the points or can I get around this at all or do I just have to wait and try and rack up the balance to make 25,000. Hate to see these just sitting here when I can really use them
Thanks

You don't have a lot of options. Magizines or check out www.nwa.com for more info.

you're best bet is to get a NW Visa for the first purchase enrollment bonus of up to 17,500 miles....if you search FT you should find the first year free deal...if it isn't over....
aside from magazines, there's not much you can do with 14,000 miles
