Of course, online shopping is always a good way to reset the expiration clock and top off an account.

But the points.com transfer thing: 1) costs nothing except a little bit of your time (no fee or purchase required); 2) posts instantly (or nearly so) rather than taking a few weeks. If you have a looming miles/points expiration, a shopping credit may or may not post in time!

Anyhow, we're drifting off topic here....
