Ok, I know this is a dumb question but -
My wife and I have travelled here and there on different airlines. Sometimes, we didn't have any choice in the matter. It just seems weird to me that we've racked up so many FF miles, but because they're on a lot of airlines, we're probably never going to be able to make good use of most of them.
Has anyone ever worked around this? Like, has any airline said "we'll take your FF miles from Delta, but we'll only honor a two for one swap". Or a rental place says "ok, we have a deal with United where you take your miles and rent a car for one day".
Or trade them on eBay.
Is there a way to make use of them? I'm going to be travelling all around the world on about four airlines, and it's not going to help me any, unless I know more about how to exploit them.
