What if the terms of the contract are that if you sell a ticket they have the right to close your account?</font>
This has been discussed many times on FlyerTalk. A customer's contract with an airline is legally a "contract of adhesion" -- a contract set out unilaterally by one party with little or no chance for the other party to negotiate. These contracts are legal and generally enforceable with some exceptions. One exception is for terms deemed "unconscionable" by a court. Restricting the sale of awards is probably not "unconscionable". However, imposing arbitrary penalties that far outweigh real damages without due process is, in my opinion, unconscionable. I would like to see some lawsuits.
