Buying E50K nomination from SE
Hey guys,
I was wondering - has anybody ever bought/sold the SE100K reward of giving E50K to someone? Meaning, has a SE ever sold to someone "random" on this forum or somewhere else to E50K nomination? Is that against AC rules? Would be curious in hearing your stories.
I was nominated E50K from a family member and... it's very useful/addictive. In fact I'll be E50K by my own this year just because I want to stay E50K. doubt it's like that for everyone though. And it's made me purchase D-fares to Asia I would not have done had I not experienced E50K this year.

Since the AC T&C prohibit selling/buying any status relatedbenefits, I doubt you'll get(m)any reports.

Don't even raise it. It is so unethical.

Not only is it against the terms and conditions, but if AC notices that this happens a little bit more than it should, the benefit may get cancelled next year or a subsequent year.
Not only should we not do this, but we should not even talk about it in a public forum. Hopefully the moderator will delete this thread.

Actually, I would have to say paying "poorer people" to ride so they meet the occupancy for HOV lanes seems correct. As in, that is a good thing. You are giving someone a ride.
