well, am sending my in-laws to Australia, (yes, round trip ) from LAX, stopover HK during the x'mas-New Year's time
and CP is the only choice i found for them (nonstop LAX-HK, HK-SYD..etc.)

the fare is outrageously high, so am looking for ways to increase my AA miles to get them two CP award biz class tix, which unblievably, were available on ALL segments when i called AA last night

i have tons of Delta miles and MAR points, but not enough on AA, am hoping through your collective wisdom, knowledge and creativity, might come up with other means of accruing (quickly) AA miles, legitimately, of course

(am also spending as much and as fast as i could using my Citibank AA MasterCard)

your suggestion and advice in helping me become my in-laws' most favourite daughter-in-law would be greatly appreciated
