Willing to spend a bit? You can buy them outright for about $445.

Or if you know someone with an account (or open a new one for a spouse, family member, whomever), through May 31st you can transfer (US calls it sharing) and get a 100% bonus. So transfer 5000 to someone else, they'll get 10,000. They transfer the 10,000 back and you'll get 20,000 - a net gain of 15,000 for you.

Would cost $83.75 for the first transfer, $137.50 for the 2nd transfer. There's a thread on this here.
