Converting United Miles to US Airways Miles
Does anyone know if there is a way to transfer United MileagePlus Miles into US Airways Dividend Miles? If there is a way, is there any cost involved?
Thanks!

No and even if there was one, you would take a bath on the exchange. Since UA miles can be redeemed on almost the exact same carriers as US miles, though, there is no need to do this.

It has been a while since I've checked, but points.com used to do exchanges. You really get an extremely poor rate though.
There used to be some backdoor ways, converting to hotels/Amtrak, etc, but as far as I know they have all been closed.

post about 100 more times on the site and then you can access another part of the forum where you could trade miles with other members.. you could book someones award ticket while they could book yours
