Even though the swapping rate is terrible, it at least provides something to do with orphaned points.  I’d rather have 153 AA or UA miles than 1001 useless Frontier miles when I don’t collect in that program.  So I went onto Points.com and saw that the trade and exchange sections have been greyed out on both United Airlines and US Airways.  It should look like the American Airlines account with trade & exchange in blue with a hyperlink.  Not wanting to get stuck with orphaned miles, I requested the exchange of 300 Best Buy & 1001 Frontier miles to AA before that program also drops out of the swapping options.  If you have any points or miles accounts with small balances you can’t use, you might as well swap them into an account you plan to use!
