Three quick questions

1. What is the fastest way to earn 300 OnePass miles (ideally miles that will post quickly also) without much cost?

2. Do the miles for the Executive Packs post quickly?

3. Is there an option to purchase OnePass miles if I'm just a bit shy of an award ticket?

1) depends on what you consider cheap
2) yes they post instantly
3) Sure, its $32/1000 plus a service fee I believe.

thats true with priv. packs and buying miles. for shopping partners, it could take up to a month before you see your miles...

Very true. However, IME, Circuit City purchases have posted within 3-4 business days but YMMV.

I agree about Circuit city - might be OK if you hold the award tix for 10 days... you can always bite the bullet at the 10 day mark and purchase the priv pack or miles.

The shopping partners used to take a month for miles to post but recently I have noticed that they have been posting in about a week from Dell, E-bags and Office Max. There is no guarantee but it seems like that would be the easiest way.
