Traded 1000 VX for 1000 DL today for $20 surcharge. Hit my SkyMiles instantly after being notified the trade had been accepted. The VX miles were expiring and would have gone to waste, essentially I bought 1000 DL miles for 2CPM instead of the 2.8CPM DL usually charges (plus no tax!). Seems like a good use for Points.com, though I agree a lot of the redemption offers are not good value.
