Funny, but I could have sworn I saw a tax on my FF miles when renting a car in SAN back in the summer. While I wouldn't be inclined to sell miles or tickets in any form, this tax must muddy the waters of the argument that the miles are "free", yes?</font>
I don't think this is actually a tax. That's the car rental company trying to stick it to you to recoup the cost of them buying those miles from the airline.
