If you think about it, if you could do this, would there be any need for flyertalk? We'd all have lifetime status on every airline and millions of miles. There would be no need ever to pay for travel or hotels or anything, limited only by your credit limit.

It's pretty much the equivalent of asking, "is there any way to buy cash with a credit card." Of course that would never happen. Well, ok, maybe it would. :0) But you get the point.
