Wait for a sale. The only free airline points are those for sign up bonuses.
The rest of the points from your spend "cost" you 2c each in lost cash back.
Anytime ANY airline sells points for less than 2c, you can consider buying them IF you have a better value from the points than from buying the ticket.
