I thought you were trying to say the same thing as lchchester http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/catha...l#post21240740 . But when I reread your thread again, you were not.

Actually it's not a bad idea... Consider this...
Renewing 2,000 miles costs you US$40 (p.s. Just saw that they are offering 20% discount for using AM or CX co-branded card, i.e. US$32)
So technically you can get 260,000 (F to somewhere needing to fly 10,001 miles one way) renewed for a year at US$120
To extend the miles expiry for 3 years, it will costs you US$360 v.s. 260,000 / 2,000 x US$32 = US$4,160 using the usual way...
But... Why not just use it asap as miles may devalue suddenly anytime...
