Airlines definitely own the miles, and can take them away for no reason at all. I would hope they never would, but eh, the law would be on their side.
Flyerd, do you have an affiliation with flyhub? You linked to them in your posts, so just curious. I would never use them as it's spammed on craigslist all the time and wouldn't risk losing my miles as it seems pretty risky to go through a central source like that.
I don't have a moral objection to selling miles, but it's just not worth it considering how easy it is for airlines to track it.
So, I think, if you have/want to sell your miles, sell them to people you know, in person. Can be a win-win, if they save some money (and don't know about earning frequent flier miles
)
