Open an Amex account. Buy 500k amex points = $12500. Transfer to airline of choice after holding a reservation to make sure that it is available. Get 4 tickets in business class. Then wonder, why did I not buy the tickets directly for the same price....

All airlines allow businesses to buy miles directly.
e.g., United charges 2.75c each. You are then limited to a maximum of 30,000 miles per year per recipient account.

If I really wanted a lot of United miles till Sep 30th, I would buy Amex as much as I can, transfer to my continental account and then transfer to UA at once, 200,000 each day.

US airways Had something very similar, but cannot seem to find it now.
