...some have gotten caught in the past,..but I'm gonna guess it was not through flyhub.com or sellyourmiles, I researched both companies extensively before selling on their sites.
Sigh. Your middleman must be very thrilled that you have such confidence in them and speak so highly of them.
IIRC, you've never redeemed your miles for any award ticket, right?
I have. As far as I know, the airlines can tell which accounts the miles are coming from from the ticket record/reservation/confirmation..etc. They don't necessarily have to go through the "middleman" to obtain the identity of the FFP account holders.
I've said it before and I am going to say it again. There's no point to "convert" you to what us regular FTers believe and vice versa. Just keep the consequences in mind when you proceed.
