United have a deal on at the moment for cheaper than normal transfers of FF miles. I need about 30000 to top up to make a trip to the US to attend a conference related to a hobby of mine. If you have United miles (any qty considered) and don't think you'll use them then I'll pay the transfer fee. PM me please. Thank you.

Also, do you have an idea on how to obtain a small number of United FF miles at the lowest cost? (intention: to avoid the 18mth expiry for no activity)
I have on several occassions extended the expiry by making use of one of their award partners.
Cheapest option is to hire a car for a day- can get price of $40 usually. Otherwise check their other award partners for either online stores or hotels.
cheers
MileagePlus Shopping is a launch pad for online shopping sites that allow earning miles on purchases.
iTunes.com is a participating retailer.Plan:
1) Start this plan early. It may take 6-8 weeks for the miles to be posted to your account.
2) Pick a home address in a state without state sales tax (e.g. Oregon)

4) Login to iTunes via MileagePlus Shopping

5) Buy something to receive 1 mile per $1 spentIf your expiry date is very near, then consider purchasing miles to topup your balance. It takes 48 hours for the miles to be posted to your account.
Sorry, I think I'm incorrect about "cheaper than normal transfers of FF miles". They do have a deal on buying FF miles - 30% off. Regardless, the offer still stands.
