I was comparing the award accelerator with buying top-up miles and the award accelerator offers much better value!

I have consistently getting 2.5 cents per mile now. Of note is that when you apply your upgrades (CR1 or SWU) your itinerary comes up with 2 flights now for each segment, one confirmed and one waitlisted. The computer reads this as the same mileage X's 2.
Thus for a typical round trip lets say between the middle east and IAD is 14k miles. Award accelerator will sell you 14k or 28k RDM miles for 2.5 cents per mile. However if you apply upgrades and they waitlist all segments, the computer reads it as 2 x's and they will sell you 28k or 56k RDM miles as 2.5 cents per mile.
They credit in 24 hours as well. Great way to double your doubling purchase if that is what you are looking for. When it is 2 cpm to me that is a good value and I'll be all over this angle.

just worried they will take them off me when it is an O class flight.
