Because you can extend the expiration date by spending miles as well as by earning them, you might be well served to cash in a very small amount of miles on a magazine subscription through Magazines for Miles, instead of spending $$ on an MR. Some magazine redemptions are as cheap as 400 miles, and earn you the same expiration extension as flying would.
