If you do this with the clear intention of circumventing program rules, you could find yourself subject to adverse action.

So far, there are no reports of this being done, but be aware.

Of course, as I posted before, PCR may actually profit from this:

Given the way PCR is run, who knows, though. Indeed, it may even be PROFITABLE for them even if people just buy points at .6cpp. The low occupancy (95% full or less) reimbursement rates are $20-$100 (plus tax). The amount PCR collects from Cash & Points sales is $30 (5K PointBreaks) to $240 (40K IC).

I wish this loophole were closed. I fear for severe devaluation.
