There are a couple of ways, but you need to call them to find out.

1. They have a buyback program
2. They have challenges that give you oppotunities to get your miles
back by opening a credit card account or flying a certain amount of
miles. Someone mention this on Flyertalk.com.

It is so easy to have airline mile transactions, don't let it happen again.

1. sign up for points.com for free, get 10 miles, gain 18 months more
2. buy flowers, rent cars, eat out, stay at hotels, transfer hotel
points, etc....

3. Spend a few hundred miles on a magazine subscription
4. Donate miles to charity (I think the minimum is 500 or 1000)
5. Netflix - one month minimum at 8.95 gets you 2000-2500 miles in days

There really isn't much of an excuse.
