This sucks because miles are like gift cards, they're not the end result, just a form of currency. Instead, you're paying the tax twice, once on the miles and once on the end product.

I bought the miles on 8/31. However, only 40k posted to my account. How long does the bonus 10k miles take to post? Thanks.

I moved some MR to CO also, but maybe not enough,
as I will move the remaining 25K this month (so will pay $15-20).
The price of flexibility. ^
