I checked the elite maximizer earlier and it was $398!

I will probably buy it for my return leg...I seem to recall being able to buy the miles at kiosk.

I think on my last PHL-IAH it was $145 for 1324 miles
If you wait until your flight the price will be even higher. If you're definitely going to do it, look for a 660+ mile flight now, book it, get the EQMs and cancel the ticket. Last year I think the maximizer was up to 37 cents per mile.
