EZ Points?

OK I have been trying to find a way to rack up some ez points. I have about 15 cc all rewards/points. I like my providian best b/c it only requires 20K for ticket (up to $500) on any airline, vs most of my others charge 25K or more and put more limits on there. Next I use my Amex.

I have been looking into using 2 pay pal accounts and doing money transfers, but the fees to accept cc payments are too much to make it worth it. Also looking into travlers checks or MO. Any ideas? any links on the subject? Ive looked and cant find them....

Yes, I know all about pay pal. I have had my accounts for over 5 years now. That op was not telling the whole story. I use the same ip address and transfered lots of funds between accounts and never had anything happen.
I did get one account on hold because I went to withdraw more than $500 in one transaction (not in a day). That will get your account froze for sure. But I just had to prove I sent all the items and gave them tracking numbers and they unfroze it. Now I just make my withdraws $499 or less per transaction and have had no problems. If I need more than that withdrawn, I do several transactions back to back. This works and I have done many withdraws in one day that would total over $500 but because each withdraw was under $500, no problems.
Pay pal wont work for points anyway, the fees are too high!
Any other ideas?

Lots of ideas over at fatwallet finance, but for me most are too much work for too little gain. Buying $1 coins with no shipping fee from the US Mint is one way to get a couple thousand points, but then you have to do something with 2000 dollar coins.
