You may be referring to Fasis-Tipton which actually isn't in the award miles business, but rather an auctioneer of thoroughbred horses and in fact this company handled the sale last December of a horse named 'Frequent Flyer' to Statesman's Ridge for only $1,300.
No award miles since the purchaser did not use a credit card......
If not this, then I've never heard of them.

I just realized it must be the eleven InsideFlyer magazine subscriptions I bought.
(11 x 3000 DL bonus miles = 33,000 miles)
...but why does Delta refer to InsideFlyer magazine as "tiptons tops" ???

While puzzling over the name, I noticed that "Tiptons Tops" backwards is the unfortunate "Stop Snotpit"...
