I love collecting points and miles.....but this is clearly way over the ethical line.
I agree, it crosses the line.

Edited: After an extensive chat with the director of Loss Prevention at Costco.com she convinced me that they do not have a problem with merchandise being returned as they pay 0% discount for mc and visa at their online store. YMMV.

I asked her if this ment that she was basically saying that this was ok to do for miles she told me that I might just like and keep what I order online. Who am I to pass up an opportunity?
