Trying to understand points.com
Hi guys, trying to learn something here. I see on Points.com that people are trading mileage on different airlines, how can it be done without the airline approving it? Doesn't the airline need to post the mileage to your account?
When I need more miles in my account for an up coming trip, I would normally need to pay 1 cent per mile plus $30 fee to the airline to transfer miles from a family member's account to my account. Is there any way to get around this without paying the airline their fee? Just trying to understand how this works since I am a pretty new member to the mileage game. Thanks
