Does anyone have any suggestion on how I can accomplish this? I do NOT want any suggestions that I sell the points/miles on ebay.</font>
One legal outlet would be to turn your DC points into Southwest tickets and sell those on eBay. They cost 25,000 DC points each and yield $325 or so on eBay.
What is a "gray market" dealer? Ashford.com isn't selling fake or stolen watches, are they? (My only experience with Ashford.com is that I had 200 shares in their IPO. I held them for about 15 minutes.)
