That's exactly my point!

flyerd, may I point out this big difference between you and other FTers who do plan to use their miles?

As I read all the threads you started about selling miles on FT, apparently you don't need your miles. Your company/job covers you pretty well and flies you wherever you are going. I am happy for you. You are also a self-claimed pro miles seller and haven't got caught. Even if you get caught, the dire consequences of frozen accounts and forfeited award tickets mean nothing to you since you won't be affected by the lost miles that you are not using anyway. For the rest of us who do plan to use our miles, we rather not to face the consequences.

Please don't take my following comments too personal. You've made your own personal beliefs and action very clear. I see no points to restate what all the FFP terms and conditions to you. You are your own master and decide your own action. If I were you, I would steer away from promoting/persuading others to engage in activities that's breaching any FFP terms and policy. The consequences you are comfortable with personally may not have the same effect on other FTers. Other people may have everything (or should I say every mile ) to lose.

If you want to continue the "intellectual discussion" about selling miles, I believe you'd started more than one thread, such as this one. With respect to OP, I think the original question had been answered. If you want to pursue further the topics of your interests, I think you should do it in your threads.
