Welcome to FlyerTalk,
beachwater1974! I'm going to go ahead and close this thread here since it seems to be spiraling off into the topic of buying miles from illicit mileage brokers. If you're looking to buy miles from legitimate sources--which pretty much means "directly from AA.com"--and you have further questions on that, I might suggest posting in the AA forum--they have a nice newbie thread here:
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/ameri...lame-free.html. If you're looking to buy miles from other FlyerTalk members or mileage brokers, unfortunately, such activity is not permitted.
Regards,
jackal
