My recommendations:
TD AMERITRADE ($25 lost interest parking $2500 for 6 months - but essentially free if you count the value of the 5K bonus miles)
ShareBuilder ($10-15 cost to do a trade - but essentially free if you count the value of the 2.5K bonus miles)
US Share Miles ($20 if you split the cost with someone)
TrackItBack.com ($25)
FTD.com ($35)
Netflix ($50 - but you get something of value)

BTW, as we get into the last two weeks of GS, I'd like to encourage people not to start custom "what's the best end-game strategy for my individual situation?" threads. In Seinfeld terms, these are not spongeworthy topics; eschew clutter, and post in an existing thread, my friends.

If you're SPG Gold, I believe $67 will suffice (@ 3 points/$).

while you are in the range of 28-32 hits, you should have taken almost all the cheap shots, if you want keep your cost at minimum for the next 4 hits in order to reach 36, Rental car could be the option (Maximum 6 times). Most people should be able to get the car between $20-$30 a day
