Just wanted to see if this stimulated anyone else.

Today I found a couple ideas-

1. United is offering 25 miles per dollar on flower purchases. How about some bulk flower purchases that can be resold to a flower vendor at significant discount? You are paying 4cents per mile. If you could sell the flowers for half of what you paid for them you'd be able to buy united miles at 2c per mile. If you could sell them for anymore you'd be in the 1c range. Anyone know what the markup on flowers at retail is?

2. Car rental- right now with the 3000 mile bonus from avid and a double miles promo throughh us air you can get 4700 miles for a three day rental at near 3c per mile. Anyone creative enough to figure out another scheme to get this more in the 1cent range?

Suoerpunkte was one of the greatest things I've seen here where you could buy in the old days essentially unlimited miles and more miles for Bout 1.2c. A very good deal. Are there any bulk purchasing opportunities like that in the ether?
