Can the OP, or somebody else with a post on the first page, start curating a running summary of the transfer options? (I'd do it, but I already have the Other Partners thread on my plate.) There are some great suggestions here, and it would be nice to have them all collected in one easily found location.

OK, I've edited post #5 to summarize (as best I can interpret) all suggestions to date. Please advise if I've gotten anything wrong, and please fill me in on the ratio for 1001 Frontier miles.

I just opened an Asia miles account, added it to points.com, and did an exchange from Dividend Miles into Asia miles (to do the 10/4/1 as described previously). However, I almost immediately got an email saying my transfer had been cancelled, as they cannot do it.
Could the problem be that my Asia miles needs a day or two to become official (maybe trying to transfer in 8 minutes after opening was too soon?)?
Anyone experience this?
Thanks.

Beltway and others,
Here might be another way for points.com
I just exchanged 5 U.S. Airways miles to 1 Frontier miles (subtracting US instead of adding) and it appears in my account as
9/14/2011 09/14/11 EXCHANGE MILES -5 (with the check mark next to the bonus)
So I think this will count for a hit too if you don't have the 1001 Frontier to
go to 184 US.
