Miles for college tuitions
A while back I asked for ways to get miles for paying college tuitions. The best solution was the one in I send money to my children through their email addresses and the bank will charge my credit card, thus giving me miles. However, I lost the addresses to those banks' web sites which enable me to do this. Can anyone tell me which banks offer this service?

lavedder,
I'm sorry I can't help with info about this, but I would like to know if this approach is restricted to tuition-related wirings. (I wire a modest amount of money around, and would be interested if there are occasions where this could be tied into miles.)
Anyone know about this?

I think you are thinking of Paypal. Again you now get $5 for signup and an additional $10 for each referral- plus the miles so it is a pretty decent deal. If you want to give it a try and also use my referral ([email protected]) too, great!
https://secure.paypal.com/refer/[email protected]
If you prefer not to use the referral link then use the www.paypal.com link. In any case, signing up just takes a sec or so! How long will they keep the signup bonus? I don't know so it's good to do while it's still available, IMHO!
Hope this helps!

Could that be http://www.emoneymail.com - a web service by BankOne? I believe the maximum size for a transfer is $500 and there is a service charge of $1 per transfer as well.

Actually your previous request for college tuiton payments ideas inspired me to buy US Savings bonds with my click card. I have been buying up a storm. Of course my kid in just begining high school in the fall so I have a little time. College is 4 years. If you bought I bonds (paying 7.49% now for years 2,3 & 4 you would get a lot of tickets. Of course you have to have the money available now or at least 6 months in advance of needing it for tuition. You can't cash them before 6 months. If you cash them before 5 years, they deduct 3 months interest.
