Your personal "rule to pay nothing extra to get miles" may mean that you are missing out on some very good deals.
You make a good point, but I just have so much energy and time for this game and I found that chasing the bonuses was starting to distort my (usually) rational purchasing behavior. Its kind of like double coupons at the grocery which we have in my area. Its nice to get two bucks off, but how many poptarts do I really need?
And, at least with poptarts, I can always eat 'em. With miles, who knows when a vast devaluation might come along. Or the miles might just disappear (unlike my uneaten cherry poptarts) So far, miles have come through the bankruptcy courts okay, but it doesn't have to always be that way.
