I second the comments about making sure that you have a plan for the money and then seeing if you can do it with the brokerages, etc. offering miles without sacrificing compared to others that don't offer miles. For example, Ameritrade, which would give you 25,000 UA miles for your money, pays a lousy rate on cash that just sits in your account. If you don't invest the money, these are REALLY expensive miles, even at today's low rates. BYW, I have an Ameritrade account and they're okay.

Where I differ from the advice above is my strong belief that you should deploy the money by giving to me, not those charletons. I promise that I will smile a lot if you give me the money.
