A friend works for a very small company which allows travel on frequent flier miles on non direct contracts (essentially travel on overhead) to be reimbursed at a rate of $0.01 per mile plus taxes and he must pay the $15 flight insurance and the company reimburses him for that also.

With enough advance notice he can go coast to coast for under $300. It helps the company hold down travel costs and he can convert some points to cash.
