Donating airline miles to troops?

[AlexandNessa]

Hi, I am sure this has been asked before, but my husband and I each have several thousand SkyMiles on Delta that we will never, ever be using, and we'd like to donate them for our troops to get home. Is there a convenient website that we can do this online? Is there a minimum number of miles that you need to donate before they will accept them? Anything else we'd need to know before we do this?

TIA

What a great idea! We have Northwest and USair miles that are years old, and we won't use!

We just did this with some US Air Miles that were about to expire. Their website has a link to donate, so we did it through that. However, the place we chose to donate to, has a site of its own so you can donate directly to them. www.fisherhouse.org. It's nice to know our unused miles can help someone out!
