Would like to exchange 20K NWA miles for AA miles

I have a balance of 20,676 NWA miles that I would like to exchange for American Airlines miles.

Anyone interested?

I didn't even know you could do that, except maybe to your immediate family (?)

You can't transfer miles from one person's account to another without some serious fees.

The only economical way to "exchange" miles with someone is to book that person a ticket in his/her name, and have that person book one in your name in exchange.

With under 25K miles, you can't even do that for most domestic itinerary.

American currently has a sale to buy extra miles that would probably be cheaper than paying to transfer that few miles from another airline.

I have plenty of AA miles and I don't need the extra miles to "complete" a ticket.

What happens is that I have those NWA miles that I accrued with a ticket I purchased to Bangkok. I don't think I'm ever going to use them and before loosing them I thought of exchanging them for AA miles.

You can donate the miles to our military men/women... most every FF program has a means for doing so.

Sandi, that's a good idea.

How does one do that?

I've never used this website --Fly Hub . . . however it appears to be a place on which people can buy/sell miles. BUT, you'd need to have enought miles for a ticket ..... and I know that AA requires 25k for a domestic ticket. Guessing that most other carriers may have a similar requirement.
