Another way to earn miles without buying anything

You could buy something from yourself on eBay and pay for it with a mileage-earning credit card. No credit card fees, but you still have to pay eBay a listing fee and then a percentage of the final bid price.

I haven't really made sure it works (it's too much trouble to actually do, IMHO) but it might be an option for some of you who need a few miles to top off an award.

Neat idea! What is the percentage you have to give on a sale? It would work also as a cash advance without the interest clock beginning for a month and get the miles!

I checked it out all the way to signing up for it, the fee structure varies by your "Ebay experience". It was about 3.9% plus $.39 per transaction. I am sticking with Paypal which is totally free! If anyone wants to sign up, you get a $5 bonus and I get a referral bonus also

PS- I don't want to start a conga line here, just pointing out Paypal which is another free way to earn miles. If someone wants to conga, please move over to Omni
