Ive tried to transfer miles from US to both Asia Miles and S&H Greenpoints so I can transfer back. I get a confirmation #.. but then get the failed email. Ive written email to customer support but ended up getting a canned response to check the faq. Ive tried for 2 days now and about 20 different ways with all the same result.. you would think customer support would notice these multiple failed transfer attempts. Ive checked all my registrations and they all match and are correct.

Bestbuy has a promotion until September 30th where you can earn 100 points for each electronic device that you recycle with them up to 300 points. I'm going to bring in a cell phone tomorrow. The points will take 30 days to post according to Bestbuy. This could be an easy way to get points.com points to convert to USAir miles for multiple accounts.

Sorry I wasn't more clear........ I meant that you could open a separate bestbuy rewards account for each family member that is playing the grand slam game. You could then recycle one electronic device for each account. Then you could transfer the 100 points through points.com to US Air miles
Probably works best for those of us who have old electronic stuff we want to recycle anyway and don't want to waste precious airlines miles from other carriers.
