In this economy a lot of people who are less fortunate than us, or perhaps who have lost their jobs and have miles to sell should be allow to do this. As far as I'm concerned anyone who wants to sell their frequent flyer miles, or buy them, should do this as they please. This is why sellyourmiles, flyhub.com and loyalmatch, all these companies are successful in what they do. There are a lot of travelers out there who clearly agree with me. There is a huge market for it and these companies get it.
If you can sell your miles, then you should be taxed on them as income. I believe that is an area that most of us no longer wish to visit.
