i have a number of ebay anything points, and the 60k business awards from cx interest me, as does the 1.125 exchange ratio, so has anyone here successfully done the ebay to asia miles transfer via points.com, and does anyone know if there is a limit on the amount of miles that can be transferred?
Thanks!

Do it all the time. No limit so far.

Yes - done the point.com transfer many times. The ONLY limitation currently in force is 500,000 max per transfer. That would be hard to hit!

There is not a lot of discussion about this transfer in this forum because it is only available to US and Canadian members - where as Asia Miles has mostly Asian members.

thanks!
now, i see that points.com wants $100 for a 1 year membership(or $10/month) which is much higher than the $30/year quoted in one of those posts, did the price just go way up?

Way up within the current quarter. What I suggest as a work around is build up a good amount of points and then transfer as much as you can within that month you pay for unlimited transfers.

I am "PointsPlus" (or whatever it's called) for a month or two more. I should have renewed in March with the bonus they had; unfortunately, I did not do that. :(

so with the new program, do you still get 1.125 asia miles per ebay point?
