At the same time I cannot have her trasnfer those miles to me because the transaction fees are ridiculous. Any thoughts on how she can "use" those miles?
You could rent a car for a day. Or you could purchase stuff at the AA mall to get a few more miles and then get a hotel room. 8000 is just a little short of the cheapest hotels AA offers, from what I've seen.
