That's not too good.

If you watch the specials on points.com, you can get some cheap ways to run up mileage balances. A few months ago, the double mileage offer was with AA miles.

You could sign up for several trial offer through ebay to earn ebay anything points--most offers were free or low cost. By joining points.com as a member for what then was $19.95, you could transfer as many times as you liked for free.

The ebay anything points transferred over to AA points at a rate of about 1.1 AA miles earned for 1 ebay anything point transferred via points.com when the double AA bonus was counted in and the points.com 25% bonus too.

I think I got about 50,000 AA miles and spent maybe $40...
