Also, I'm not interested in adding another credit card just to bump up the miles. Are there any tricks out there to transfer them out?

I'm suprised no one has offered to take them off your hands. Well, I might as well be the one. I'll take 'em and put them to good use!

Other than that, I can only think of a few things.

Transfer them out for a big hit.
Magazines?
Keep the miles around just in case you need em.
