Buying Miles cheaper than paying with cash?
Flying to Vegas in economy comes in just below £1k. If i choose to get the flight with miles, it comes in at approx £200 in taxes in 30k miles.

Buying the miles would cost approx £450. So with the taxes, a total of £650. Is there any reason, or anything I'm missing, as to why I wouldn't just do this instead of paying for a flight the normal way?

Many Thanks
