I buy points from time to time when they are on sale. I know it's not a popular thing to do around here, but I use them to fly business or first class and I would never be able to afford those tickets at normal prices. I sign up for every frequent flyer program to get the targeted offers, and then I look carefully at what I could do with the miles. I used AA miles that I purchased to fly first class on Cathay Pacific and that was worth every penny. I'm afraid that I don't know of any great offers right now, though.
