Quick 95 miles
 
I need to get a quick 95 miles in my wife's account to hit 25k. I want to use 26k miles to get 2 free tix to SF in Feb, and want to book on 11/10 in order to get the best crack at dates. I know that I will probably have to buy the extra 1k miles, due to timing. However, what is the fastest way to get 95 miles that actually post within 10 days?

I have over 40k in my account, but would rather keep them there for a larger ticket should we need it somewhere.

Many thanks.

A $10 Rewards Network meal should take a couple of weeks if you're willing to risk it rather than buy the miles?

the miles are only $25 per 1000 why not just buy 2K? Even with Idine you're looking at needing to spend $10, and there's no guarantee that they'll post fast enough

You could transfer points into your AS account via Points.com.

Never done a Points.com/AS transaction, but generally speaking Points.com initiated transfers happen quickly -- ranging from instantly with some partners to 48 hours with others.

If you join Fairmont's Presidents Club (free) you get a Points.com premium membership free (register at points.com/fpc).

America West, American, Goldpoints, Hawaiian, Midwest, USAirways, Priority Club... all transfer into Alaska. Other programs do too (e.g. PhoneHog).
