LATimes.com: Extending the shelf life of frequent-flier miles

I like reading David Lazarus' columns.  I do not currently subscribe to the Los Angeles Times, but every once in a while I come across a copy.

In the October 15, 2010 issue, he discusses what to do with airline miles and extend the "life" of the miles without them expiring (and you losing them).  Some of the options include:

• Flying somewhere
• Buying miles
• Buying non-miles-merchandise on-line / Subscribing
• Viewing promotional videos and responding to surveys
• Take on-line surveys
• Gifting/Transfer miles (usually for a fee)
