Web site that accepts airline miles for payment?

Question

I have a bunch of miles on a few airlines and want to buy stuff rather than redeem flights. I prefer NOT to use the airline sites themselves - is there a merchant out there that accepts various airline miles as currency?

Answer 1

https://www.points.com/

Answer 2

Points.com will turn your miles into gift certificates for retail stores and restaurants.  You can then buy clothes, electronics, books, and eat at restaurants with your miles.  Pretty cool.
