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?
