It could be worth buying Etihad miles - I did during their last promo - but it depends what you want to use them for?

That’s encouraging, what did you use yours for if you don’t mind sharing.

A VA J flight and an OK J flight.

That makes it Interesting to buy then.

You shouldn't ever really be buying miles though unless you have a specific redemption in mind, have checked for availability and plan to redeem as soon as you've received the miles. VA domestic J could be an exception as award availability isn't usually a problem, but you never know when the award charts could change etc.

If you already know what you're going to do with the miles, and you've done the maths to make sure you're getting a good deal, then go for it.
