On e-miles, if you're a new account, I wouldn't worry about paying anything to get to 500. The sign-on bonus of 275 plus the fact that you get tons of offers when you're new make it easy. If you want to speed it up or feel you need to, there are sometimes offers to donate 1 time for 100 points (last year there was one with a minimum of just $1). Also, recently I got a 100 point bonus for ordering from vistaprint, which offered a free item for which I only had to pay shipping (~$3).
