I was wondering if any Canadians here tried to aquire US bonds for miles. I'm a Canadian working in the US and I'm looking to get some bonds but I can't seem to find a clear cut answer. My work does not provide a payroll purchase plan by the way. I do have a US bank account, credit cards, SSN, driver license, the works with a valid work Visa.

If that doesn't work, I was thinking about putting 25k in Ameritrade and getting the 20k starwood points. But buying the bonds seem like a better deal since I get 1:1 points to what I spend and I'll get to earn a good interest rate. Thanks!
