Is purchasing miles to get to next level beneficial?

Lokahi - Unfortunately, the Kellogg's miles do not count towards regular status... but if you get 1 million miles (purchased, flown, or whatever) AA will give you Lifetime Gold. 50 Eggo cartons would indeed get you 25,000 miles, enough for a free trip, but no status.</font>

Thanks for the correction.

Thanks, Lokahi, for the link to that hilarious thread. ILTE's post was especially funny -- to paraphrase:
{first class seatmate asks:} So, did you get an upgrade to first class or did you buy your ticket?
{You, CHOKING on First Class Dinner}: BUY a first class ticket?!!! No, I bought $15000 worth of Kellogg's Eggo Waffles for lifetime Gold status on AA!
Unfortunately, living in Hawaii, we do not get good prices on ANY groceries, much less Kellogg's products. So, Lokahi, how much did those Eggos cost at the Hawaii Costco? Probably twice as much as the mainland, eh?
