Need to earn 200 miles quickly...

My wife needs 200 miles to get up to 80,000miles for 2 r/t tickets and after calling VS I found that I can't transfer from my account. So, what would you suggest for earning 200 miles quickly and cheaply?

Rent a car for a day with Hertz or Avis?
Stay in a hotel for a night?
Send flowers through FTD.com?

What would you do??

Need to do this before the mileage redemption hike otherwise it's a mute point.

BTW, we're both now US members after moving to sunny Texas last year.

Thanks in advance,
Paul

FTD will post quicker,send the wife some flowers and you will be in her good books for 2 things.

Dave - have you used the online "Hertz/Avis claim" functionality that's now live?

I used both last week (2 rentals, one from each), and the miles posted in 4 days. [y]

Thanks guys....might do the car rental as my wife will think I'm up to something if I send her flowers

No never had a need to,it's all linked in my avis profile,if it can post in 4 days then I would say go ahead and do a car rental,look at avis.com,go for a local rental,just walk in,sign for the car,ask them nicely to please check the car back in in an hour,or take it for a drive round the parking lot and walk out.
