At this point, it seems like the airlines are hoping you buy without understanding what you bought. And so far, AS.com is better than UA.com in that regard, but they are starting to look more and more alike.
oh come on...seriously? In order to "accidently" buy these miles... you have to (before selecting continue or skip):
A) pick one of the 3 radio buttons to tell us which option you want to buy (1000, 2500, or 5000)
and B) check another box to select the passenger(s) to purchase for (and yes..this shows up even if there is only one passenger)
and C) still not realize that you've just checked 2 boxes on the billing page, where it clearly says:
Fare for 1 Traveler: $xxx
Fly & Buy Miles™ for 1 Traveler: $xxx
Grand Total for 1 Traveler: USD $xxx
and then D) select the purchase button
If you can still manage to
accidentally purchase miles.. then I salute your mad internet skillz yo.

To be fair.. the skip button is at the bottom. Also note that you can select the "continue" button without selecting any of the options and it works the same as "skip"
