I always do the mental math and I've never seen a mileage multiplier option from any airline that remotely looked reasonable.
Occasionally US Airways used to directly *sell* miles at a reasonable rate (1.5c or so). I remember buying around $1,000 worth one time when I knew I was going to be immediately emptying my entire account for some R/T tickets to HKG in J and I was pretty sure the seats would be there when the miles hit my account. (They were.)
