Shop @ Safeway - 125 miles for every $250 in purchases. You mentioned you have the AS Visa but do you use a debit card for everysay purchases? If so get the AS Debit Visa - you only get 1 mile/$2 spent but it adds up and it's better than getting nothing from your everyday debit purchases. You can join Mleage Plan Dining and get points for eating at participating restaurants - it's free to signup and register your AS credit or debit Visa (or both) and by using the VS you get miles for the dine and miles for the $ spent. Might be a bit late for this one but did you owe federal taxes this year? Do you pay estimated taxes quarterly? Use your AS Visa at officialpayments.com and the $ charged = miles. Check if you can pay property taxes with them as well. Get a fee auto insurance quote at Progressive.com for 500 miles. Planning to re-finance your mortgage or take a HELC? Go through one of two AS partners to earn miles.

Of course there's always the combination of mileage runs and/or purchasing miles. $215 is not a huge price to pay considering you will be in BA "F"
