I usually find these to be at best a break even deal. If you need the additional miles for a specific trip, it might pay to buy but not to add to an existing account. YMMV

Cheers

Agree. Me, too.

I posted this for the one person who might need something like this.

A few years ago there was a poster "OY" who needed a few points to get her family over to some-place-or-other. She ended up purchasing points from me via a transfer. It was pricey, but she was able to offset, big-time, with a special AA fare promotion.

Many of the airlines give free miles when you sign up for their credit card. If you need just a few miles, and can wait 3-6 weeks to get them, get the credit card for you or your spouse. The cards have annual fees, but you can cancel the card when the fees come due.
