I'm in Canada, and have an Air Miles card, which I use sporadically on grocery purchases..and that's about it. I just checked my total, and it turns out in seven years, I've earned a paltry 474 miles (less than half of what I'd need to get, say, a free blender). Needless to say, I'm not thrilled with those returns. Should I scrap the card, or try to use it more wisely - maybe get an Air Miles credit card, or go to different stores? Suggestions welcome.

I have 30,000 Mileage Plus airmiles on United and about the same number of Dividend Miles on US Airways. Both are members of the Star Alliance. Can I combine both sets of airmiles to buy a transatlantic flight on either (or another) airline? Both airlines say the airmiles are 'not transferable' yet their websites say I can use airmiles earned with any Star Alliance partner to buy other products or services.
