Could not wait and simply tryed.
Transfered 1k for 15 $ from one account into another and both accounts now extended vality until may 2018 ^
That seems to be the cheapest way.

Sorry for bringing an old thread back to life. My lifemiles are expiring end of this month and trying to figure out an easy way to extend them? The three options I am seeing are
1. Transfer miles (1k) from the expiring account to another. - For this to work I have to open another account in my wife's name and then transfer. Would this work
2. Donate 500 miles to charity
3. Open the 60k credit card for $149

Which one's do you guys suggest? Please let me know

2. Donate 500 miles to charity..

1 - Account needs to be active for a while, 21 days i think.
3. Cant really guarantee for it to complete and miles to post within the month
