Is it necessary to buy stock on Sharebuilder? Or can one just leave transferred money (minimum?) in BDMXX MONEY MARKET CASH?

@Andyandy, I sent a note to that Flyertalk member:

I was surprised he took offense to what I posted about the US Airways promo. I thought I was taking great care, actually, to avoid posting his contribution to the public Flyertalk thread, as he had requested.

Of course I’m going to post about the 250% bonus holiday offer from US Airways, it’s the best shopping promo out there. And I mentioned the TrackItBack offer, it’s squarely on the bonus offer page.

But I purposely kept off the blog some obvious things because he posted them first and asked that they not be repeated.

The three separate key elements of his post on that thread were left out of my post here. I didn’t (a) draw the connection at all to how to get very large numbers of miles or (b) spell out the value proposition of doing so.

I avoided it precisely to honor his request…

Meanwhile, the US Airways forum on Flyertalk gets much more traffic than my humble blog

So I really do think my conscience is very clear here.

I think its quite strange that US Air rolls out this “Partner-type” Promo just 8 days after the US Airways Grand Slam Promotion officially closed on Nov. 15th.

I’m actually quite excited, as it gives me a change to redeem myself & earn some cheap miles for the 5 other US Airways Accounts I manage for immediate family… I had grand thoughts heading into the Grand Slam Promo & then before I knew it, it was Nov. 15th, doh!

Who’s got some other cheap purchases that yield lots of Miles?
