5000 American, Alaska, or USAirways Miles for $50
Points.com is offering 5000 American, USAirways, or Alaska miles for upgrading to a 'Gold' membership for $49.95. The membership isn't worth much, but buying miles at one cent apiece is generally a good deal.There's no clear expiration date on the offer, so verify that your mileage choice is available before offering up payment.

Certainly that may be a good deal for a travel guru like you but for a person like me who is at the bottom of food chain without any status anywhere, this means $ 250 for 25K miles. I do not see any juice here. Intead of begging for an economy seat with minimal choices, I will rather prefer to spend $250 on most of the flights availible in US of my choice during normal conditions. But as I said earlier, this depends on what grounds you stand. Those who are at a higher ground definately see a better view and are in a much better position to utilize these miles.
