Any suggestions to earn 5 miles
Short by 5 miles for a redemption. Any suggestions how to get these.. Any free bonuses at the moment for doing a survey for example. I think shopping looks like a good option but not sure how long it would take to post?

As you are a SPG Plat, the easiest way is to transfer SPG points to Asia Miles.

Didn't mention that this is girlfriend's account. So even if I bought SPG points for her then her account would have to be 14 days old in order to do so Also have Amex but suspect I will encounter the same problem with names not matching. Any other suggestions. Seems a waste to pay 60USD for the sake of 5 miles.

I don't think you can transfer to other's account with SPG points, US AMEX MR can be transferred to other people's Asia Miles account (at least a few years ago). I did that to my daughter's account back then.

Asia Miles dining won't take too long. Depends how quickly you need the miles.
