Thanks for the warning - I really am having second thoughts now. Would you say using the MPX app for airline reimbursements has lesser risk compared to this method, since that is also not using the credits for its intended purpose? I've already used the MPx method for my PRG, and that has worked like a charm.

Ahhh, that REALLY hits the nail on the head! I completely am against meeting min-spend that way, and I now understand why you were similarly disapproving of the Delta Upgrade method. Sucks, as I applied for the Plat knowing that this method existed somewhere - I now have to find $400 worth of natural spend using MPX retailers!
