Need a quick 104 Miles..

Hi,

I'm about to confirm a reward reservation, it's on hold until Wed Midnight. I'm 104 Miles short. I can buy 1000 miles for $37, which i'm happy to do but i just thought i'd ask and see if anyone knows a way to get them cheaper and posted within 24 hours.

All suggestions welcome.
Thanks

Jonathan

You could also try making a purchase at shoponepass.com that would get you at least 104 miles, but the miles might not post within 24 hours of your purchase. And, the best deals often are for five miles per dollar, so you'd still have to spend at least $21 and would get fewer miles (if you purchased 1000 miles, you'd still have 896 left after your reward redemption).

I think the OP needs CO miles.

The OP also could sign up to receive Onepass statements online or whatnot - this would earn 500 miles. Not sure if they'd post instantly, however.

I'm Expecting thats the case. I don't especially want the whole 1000, Just the 104 i need to get me up to 50,000. Even if i end up buying the 1000, which a fully expect to do, it'll still be a great deal. LAX - LHR, round trip (coach) for $110.

I just thought it wouldn't hurt top ask the questions while i confirm the other arrangments overnight.What a shame they don't have the 'University' that NW has..

Do you have any Amex Membership Rewards points? Those post very quickly, too. Other than that, I don't think anything posts as fast as simply handing over $ for miles.
