transfer or purchase of miles
 

Dont have enough miles in my account for number of awards needed. Have some in wifes account. Co.com says you can purchase necessary miles but I cant find cost. Does anyone know cost per 1000? probably would need to purchase 40k and it might be expensive. Can you transfer from one account to another ? tried search but it didnt seem to work. ps I did post on cc but this has to be done quickly so I might have to purchase. thanks

Here's a link about purchasing miles. It is expensive and there are other restrictions. Opening a Chase card will generate quite a few miles; you could also search the website for offers from partners. If you're going to buy from the partners anyway, why not get the miles.

Edit: ContinentalFan's a little quicker on the draw. :td: for not having a three-day weekend.

thanks guys CO thread is real fast. when i first read the co purchase info i thought it was cost per thousand plus 32$ Next time i will have my coffee first.

Can't he transfer his wife's one pass miles into Amtrack Rewards then transfer back in Continental at a 1:1 ratio? That way he won't lose any miles and the cost will be less. I am not altogether sure how one does this transfer but I think theoretically it can be done.

i do not believe you can transfer miles if the name on the account on either is different

Just got up a little early today thanks to jet lag!
