Alternatively 30 Netflix Memberships x 2000 Miles, Can I buy these for other people and then cancel them?

Unfortunately the "R" upgrade bucket on CO changes pretty fast. The ideas you have for getting miles sound like a ton of work and, even then, don't result in miles in your account immediately. It could take a several weeks for the miles to post.
