The $4 I can get back or even make a little on since it is a stock. The New York Times I already read some and I always read the some paper anyways so I don't consider that an extra cost. The premier health was $1 non-refundable and I will cancel that as soon as the points show up. Not too bad. The bonus offer is until June 30 by the way.
Thanks,

It would be very help if someone can walk me through step by step of what needed to be done in order to purchase 50,000 AA miles for less than $0.01. Maybe let's start with where to registered.

2. Go to points.com and sign up for an account. You want the plus account that costs around $20. Select 2100 ebay anything points for your account opening bonus.
3. After that, just go to http://anythingpoints.ebay.com and start signing up for offers. You will use your ebay username to sign up for things. There are several offers that cost little to nothing including Ancestry.com and PremierHealth. The key is to cancel within the trial. Sharebuilder is also a good option for 5,000 ebay points (about 5000 AA miles!).
4. Sometime before June 30, 2004, go back to points.com and transfer all of your ebay anything points to AA miles. It is a little better than 1:1.
5. NOTE: You will not get a lot of bonus points for buying gift certs...see other posts above for more info, but in general, you WILL NOT get 10 points per $ spent; it is more like 1:1, so if you have a miles card that is also 1:1, it is the same type of value.
got it?

Thanks. Also read that I can purchase gift certs to get anything points - does that mean I also need to register for paypal?

Tried several times--no luck.What am I doing wrong???

Try Priceline.com also!
Just click on the link on the http://anythingpoints.ebay.com page to priceline.com. I got 1,500 ebay points for booking a hotel (that I need for an upcoming MR 
)and the points posted overnight. So far, I've got 3,600 ebay points.
Thanks, ebay, FT, and points.com!

MBNA Mastercard
The ebay MBNA mastercard gives 3,000 ebay anything points after first use. It earns 1 point / dollar. Not a bad idea to get 3,000 anything points (which then converts to more than 3,000 AA miles) quickly.

Well, I signed up and then did the transfer from anything points to AA miles. There was nothing in there about any bonus. I assume that just shows up automatically after the transfer?

I opened my Points.Com Plus account using Fairmont Hotel's offer, joined Anything Points with my eBay account, opened up a ShareBuilder account using the link from eBay, and then put in a $5 order to buy $1 worth (a fractional share) of Midwest Air, which should complete tomorrow (ShareBuilder seems to only do transactions on Tuesday).
So does anyone have any idea how long it takes to get my 5,000 Anything Points?
And also, I just signed up for Premier Health Plus. I created a Citibank virtual account number with a $2 limit for that for the $1.00 30-day trial. So if they try to bill me further after I cancel, they'll be out of luck.

Citibank lets you create these account numbers to help you avoid any internet fraud. I just don't see how a company who I use these numbers with can justify billing more to my primary account. I don't see how they even could, since they don't have my main account number.

100K miles for UNDER 1 cent!!!! It does work!!!!
As much as I like this forum I would not do it with anybody from this forum unless you know they are good for a few thousand bucks.
If you have close friends that are into miles look into this:
To get the big points your best friend sells you stuff on eBay
The eBay fees for are as followed ($5000 item example):
$ 0.40 BuyItNow listing (Listing it at under $ 10 with $ 5K buy it now)
$ 86.81 Final Value ($26.81 for the first $ 1000 1.5%
afterwards)
$ 250 Fees (0.01 per point) offering the 5 points per $
spend (eBay doubles them to 10 points untill April 30th)
$145.30 PayPal Transaction Fees
$482.16 Total Fees
So that's a quick 50K eBay Points or 52325 AA Miles through eBay Points and another 5000 miles for using a mileage earning Credit Card
Have FUN
Keep in mind that the amount of Bonus miles you can get is limited to 50K. So no more than 100K to your account!
