Sorry hard nope. Spend the miles, on partners if needed. Accumulate on United or delta going forward

In general, you can’t convert miles among airlines like you can exchange cash into different countries’ currencies. You need to spend it and rebuild the balance on your new preferred carrier.

There at least used to be some services that would do this if you really wanted to but you’d lose the majority of the value of them, and I’m not sure the airlines haven’t tried to shut even that down.

Airline to hotel to airline?

It’s worth looking at, but there is likely to still be some dilution and many hotel chains have a preferred airline that may skew the best conversion and redemption deals there, even if they allow some earning or redeeming on others. It might actually be more worth it to move them to a hotel chain and use them there rather than trying to move again to another airline.

My preferred is Delta, but sometimes due to schedule/price I have to slum it on United or American.

For the United miles that I’ll never use and will expire - I use the miles for hotel nights on personal vacations. (Almost) Every vacation we go on, we book a night at an airport hotel either for an early departure or late arrival. Typically I have enough points banked for that.

For American I do the same OR, with American you can spend your miles on gift cards. So I do that and pick cards for places I either regularly ship or would be able to use to buy someone else a gift.

As others have noted, you won’t get great returns, but it’s definitely better than letting the miles expire.

Honestly I fly american for primarily the international miles redemption. I dumped all my miles on an international trip in biz class and it was amazing. I wouldn’t transfer

I've just recently been hired as an assistant manager at a Canadian outlet store. It's a small company in comparison to others, but there are over 10 locations spanning western Canada and NW united states. I'm curious as to what others in a similar position are getting as salary. I was offered $42k plus bonuses at the interview, but when called back I was offered $44.5k plus bonuses. I already accepted. Did I leave money on the table here?
