As for Yanxfan, the miles are not transferable. The airlines give you something - miles - that by their very nature are non-transferable. So when you say it is legal to trasfer them, you are correct that you are not breaking any laws but you are defrauding the purchaser of the miles who expect to have valid ownership of the miles.</font>
Semantics, perhaps a poor choice of words on my part. By transferable I was referring to the fact that as a rule of thumb FF award tickets can be issued to not only the FF account holder themself but also to virtually any person of the FF account holder's choosing, for example you could use say your UAL miles to have an award ticket issued to anyone that you choose.
