Need more miles to book trip
I am about 8,000 miles short of the cost in miles for an upcoming trip to Europe I'm looking to take. Other than purchasing the miles (which would be about $300), is there any way to get this number of miles?
I've already signed up for the Amex Delta card (last year) and canceled before the annual fee dropped this year.
I don't have any hotel points. I have a lot of Citi Thank you points which seem to be pretty much useless.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

You might be able to transfer AmEx Membership Rewards points to DL miles, but the AmEx points are more valuable.
I'd suggest just buying the miles from DL. Do it now, before your award availability (which I hope you have checked carefully) vanishes.

You could eat a lot at participating restaurants.

If you still had a Delta Amex, Pay With Miles would be an option to pay with miles and dollars and earn MQM.
