Buying UA miles at 3.5 cpm is not very economically appealing, but if one doesn't have to buy too many in order to top off for an award, then it may be a reasonable option. It makes better sense than does giving a great deal of value in one "collectible" (e.g., HH) to get into UA at some unfavorable exchange rate (10:1?).
