I agree with you - very odd that he skirted your fair and direct questions. Hopefully he will come back and answer them.
I am curious what you think specifically of the comparison of LoyaltyMatch to CC, some of which I outlined in my post #16 above. I think your points about LM are dead on, but I also see little distinction between LM and CC (other than the functionality and specific method of matchmaking).

Do you think this is a safe assumption? If points were openly and readily traded for cash, I would think demand for them would increase, and possibly offset (or even more than offset) any decline caused by the effect of increased redemptions (and presumably, less availability). In theory, all that is happening is an increased efficiency of the system.
