Many credit cards have reward programs. Most airlines have frequent flier programs. The points you accrue with the credit card companies are part of the reward program, so they belong to the credit card company. The frequent flier points you accrue by flying on a specific airline, so those points belong to the airline.
It's unbelievable to me how many people cannot differentiate between airline miles and reward points. They are not interchangeable. The whole point of offering rewards to customers is to reward you for using their card or reward you for choosing to fly on their airline. Why would you think you can pass them back and forth between airline and credit card?
Before you get all indignant because I won't help you use your airline points for credit card rewards, stop and think it through. It ain't gonna happen.
