How To Top Up Your
Miles Balance
Before we begin,
I will make a general and important comment: Frequent flyer
miles should be considered a bonus that is earned when you
participate in your usual, everyday practices such as flying or
using your credit card.
Best Stock Trading Practices
A good working knowledge of stock trading is vital for successful traders.
There should be
no additional cost and you should certainly not participate in
the activity just to earn miles. This is false economy and you
will spend much more than the value of any benefit
obtained.
That said, there
are situations where you might require a “few hundred” miles to
get you over the line so you can make that elusive flight
booking.
For those
instances, you might be interested in buying or swapping
frequent flyer miles. Points.com is a free community portal
that’s dedicated to earning, tracking and trading miles with
other members.
If all that
sounds like too much work, you can often simply buy frequent
flyer miles when you need them. All prices below are in U.S.
Dollars.
For example, you
can buy Delta and America West miles at Miles4Sale.com. They
are fully approved by both Delta and America West. You can buy
miles in increments of 500 up to 50,000. They even have a way
that you can buy miles and give them as a gift to someone
else.
Delta also sells
miles directly from its website in increments of 1,000 up to an
annual limit of 30,000 miles. Miles cost $0.0275 each plus a
7.5% Federal Excise Tax. An additional 6% GST applies to
purchases made from Canada.
