I have been wondering this for a long time now… I am all for getting miles however possible but I have deliberately avoided the whole idea of getting them for “free” under circumstances other than how promotions were intended. For example, I have not tried to fund accounts with a credit card or buy coins from the mint in order to get miles that way. I am wondering though if my reluctance in this regard is warranted or if I am overthinking this a bit too much. Anyone have any thoughts on this?
