I looked at CC as a way to enhance my flying experience by trading for/getting things other people couldn't use, and to trade/give things I couldn't use to others... but I've given away upgrade coupons to friends and complete strangers before, and if the idea of having CC be a place to perform trades is just fundamentally destructive to the idea of FT's community ethos, I'm completely fine with changing it to being a karma-only, "swap shop" zone. (I tend to also think the difference between miles, eVIPS/SWUs and GCs is fairly trivial. It's the CONCEPT of trade that gets us into buyers/sellers, etc.)
