It it about 45% cheaper than buying the miles normally. Being awful with math, I can't figure out why anybody would buy 60,000 miles for $1260?
Are you planning to take a trip for which you need these miles? In that case if the cost of your ticket is more than what you would spend on miles, you will come up on top. At 2c/ mile, you are at a decent rate for mileage buy. Also, if you plan to fly on tickets that wont earn enough RDM after March 1st, you could use these to pad your account (again only if you need them and plan to use them).

And lastly, if you have money to buy it (that is your call).
